Should i be putting on d rated tires or e rated. I occasionaly will be pulling close to 8000lbs with my ecoboost. If i put on e rated i think i will be having the pressure sensor light come on. What have you guys been doing?? Basically i want to put on a 285/65r18 tire instead of the 275/65r18 tire that came on the truck. What should i do. I dont want to be messing with tire pressure sensors.

Just put in 40-45 psi all the way around.

U could never haul enough with a 1/2 ton to need more air to overload the tires

Take truck to dealer. They can quickly and easily change the alarm point on the tire sensors. Some tire shops also will have the ability to do so also

What tex said is right
although you can get more payload with an f150 eithe trailer package than a dodge 2500 hd you cannot put enough on the rear axle to overload the tires. You can just pull more by about 400 lbs thus the reason I went with the balder nicer rife more payload and cheaper to buy

Well i went with BFG all terrains, 285/65r18. running about 35PSI in them now as the truck is empty. I will bumpe them up to 40 or 45 as per what you guys say. They sure look good on the truck, very happy with them.
