We just got back from an 800-mile round trip adventure. The tires performed really well. I don't think we lost anything in terms of gas mileage. The truck definitely felt more planted when towing and...

We have the 23MRB. Dry weight is 5200. We have the 3.5L EcoBoost and wouldn't consider going smaller.

Doesn't really seem like you'd gain much with the EcoDiesel. I'm surprised the towing capacity is as low as it is.

Regardless of how handy you are, why wouldn't you let the dealer fix the issues under warranty? That way, if the same issues return, you'll have recourse beyond your 2-year warranty.

Yeah, I think I've decided on going with the E LR tires. Just not sure which ones I want. The Coopers look good, but I really don't need an all terrain tire. My truck is RWD and we never have any...

The bouncing has been there since we bought the truck brand new in 2015. I also put air bags on to help with the ride. Eliminated a lot of the bouncing, but not all.

New Tires: XL or E load range?

Thanks for the input. I'm mostly wanting to eliminate the flexing of the stock tires on my F150. They're just passenger tires. Do I need to go with XL load rated tires or are any LT tires ok?

I think the problem I'm having is that very few tires are E or XL rated tires in my specific size. I need 265/60R18.

I'm currently researching tires for my 2014 Ford F-150 3.5L. I'd like to get LT tires, but the sites that I've been shopping on don't list tires as being P, E, or XL rated. They're listed with a load...

No problem at all. The sway control built into the F150 will attempt to eliminate any sway that it feels. The WDH sway control eliminates or attenuates sway before it begins.

Ideally, if your WDH...

It doesn't help that Jayco and other brands are marketing these 5ers as "Half-ton towable". The 24.5CKTS has a 10K lb GCVWR and 1300 lb hitch weight. Even my F150 with 1600 lb payload would struggle...
