I would set it to about 1/8" toe in. That's what I do for heavy duty pickups with a straight ft axle.

Make sure the tongue is straight with the wheels. It will go down the road better when loaded if the tongue is in straight with the tongue. The 1/8 inch toe in should be good.

If your wagon tongue drops to the ground after you unhook it from the truck it is too loose.
