6 ply or 10 ply. Would I see a difference?
Towing a 7000lbs tt with F150 2021 w/ 6 ply factory tires. Experiencing some bouncing. Would I see a difference with 10ply tires?would the ride w/o a trailer be too stiff? Thank you MC

In truth they are are pretty hard. Much harder than tires that usually come on F150s. Normal tires are rated to 2175LB, and 44psi. Truth is if he goes to a higher rated, and higher PSI tire. He will need to also get new tires.
In truth, they are only as hard as the pressure in them and a little bit based on sidewall rigidity.
In truth, he will NOT need new rims. But your speculation is appreciated ….
Although i agree, 2700lb tires is plenty for the OPs purpose and the bulk of his “issues” seem to lie in maybe inexperience towing or very staunch expectations.
Having ran both 2100lb, and 2750lb tires I can assure you the 2700lb tires are a harder compound, and do have stiffer sidewalls. They have a stiffer ride even when aired to 35psi. Also something else. The heavier stiffer tires seem to break lose quicker than the lighter tire.
And I'm not sure F150 rims are rated for 85psi or higher. Could be wrong. Have been twice that i know of.
