Default Wheel torque

I've had my new truck for a few weeks now and I've towed my travel trailer twice with it. Everytime I tow I check the air pressure and lug nut torque for the trailer. This last time I decided to check the torque on the truck's tires. 3 out of 4 tires were fine, but the last one (left front) had 5 of 8 nuts well under the required 135ft/lbs.

Just thought I'd put it out there for everyone with new trucks that you might want to check them.
