Depending on how much off road you do, & what kind, (obviously w/o your Ranger) consider trading in your C tires with your dealer for E rated, same size. I have basically the exact version w/Grandby you are getting. I kicked myself a bit after my purchase. I had wanted to trade upfront & whiffed on it. I figured then to later swap with my next set. But after 7500 miles I felt it necessary, with my use ratio, to swap them out. I am happy now with that change & the extra beef E tires bring for multiple reasons. Love my truck so far, congrats!

Thanks! Yep the E tires will be in the future. 95% of our travels are on paved roads 20% with the FWC/boat combo. I remove the FWC for everyday use and store the unit. I currently have E tires with bags and it handles wonderful. I will check on the E tire swap at the dealer. Thanks for the comments!

I have a 2017 F150 4x4 Super Crew with the 3.5L Ecoboost, 10 spd, max tow pkg, etc.  Do not have the payload package as I'm towing now with no camper.  Great truck.  Been very impressed so far.  Had an older school '99 F250 SC 4x4 with 5.4L V8 for 20 years that I carried my FWC on.  From a towing standpoint, the F150 with the Ecoboost significantly outperforms the older V8.

My current 2017 with the 3.5/10 speed is a impressive machine. I have 60k on it and will be a great truck for the future owner. I chose the 5.0L for the new truck based on the long term ownership. This will be my last truck for many years.
