Can anyone tell me what the toe-in should be and any other things to look at or do to get a wagon to tow better . I have a decent 8 ton gear and four matched 11l 15" 8 ply tires thanks steve

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.
