There's nothing else to say that I haven't already said.
Your F-150 did NOT come with load range E tires. It came with LT275/65R18C. That "C" at the end of the tire size is the load range C.
Those LT tires were an option on your 4x4. Stock 18" tires were P275/65R18, without the "C" on the end of the size.
P-series are available in three different weight capacities, but those weight capacities are not called load range C, D or E. Instead they are called
Light Load, with max PSI of 35 PSI,
Standard Load, also with max of 35 PSI for weight capacity but often marked 44 PSI because that raises the speed rating without raising the weight capacity, and
Extra Load, 44 PSI.
If your tires are size 275/65R18 without a "P" or "LT" in front of the size, then they are Euro-metric. I'm not familiar with Euro-Metric tires, but I guess that's where the 51 PSI max inflation pressure comes from. Are you in Canada?

I know they come on TRD Tundras, but I can't find a store that sells them. Only the older design.
Thanks.

I'd assume that's an extra load tire. They are kinda like a C load range tire. Maybe in between a Pmetric and LT tire.

I think you'll like those tires for towing. They'll be a lot softer. E range tires ride rough no matter how little air you run in them. Those tires only have 2 ply sidewalls, so they will still have some side to side movement, but you can put more air in them if needed, which will help a lot.
