You must have the Heavy Duty tow package with those LT tires. Makes sense towing your 5th wheel. Should be a good combo.

While the LT tires are standard on the max payload package (not tow package) they are an available option on all 4 wheel drives. I special ordered them on my 4wd max tow package 2016 F150. My biggest problem towing heavy is that the truck is a little light in the rear partly because of the aluminum body. I have to be careful taking off from a stop not to spin the tires. Also, I have to watch sharp turns offroad going down hill as the trailer tries to push the back end of the truck into a jacknife.

I have the max tow package and specifically ordered the LT tires.

That probably cost a mile or two per gallon but I like mine. I suspect that I was the first to specify them on the new body style. I got mine at no extra cost but a couple of weeks after my order went in they changed to a $395 option. I feel that nobody had bothered putting a price on it until they actually got an order and realized how much work they were going through for no cost. At least it makes me feel good believing that I got a deal on them.

My '11 came with P metric and I switched out after about 500 miles. I went with the Goodyear Wrangler AT's and saw no noticeable decrease in fuel economy. I have had these tires on everyone of my F150's. Other than a piece of wire puncturing the sidewall of one last year I haven't had any trouble
