If you stay the stock size, mileage decrease should be minimal. My factory wrangler SRA's are about done with 40k on them. I am going back with a mildly more aggressive AT tire and staying stock size. All my research says that I should lose 1 mpg or less.

Would still be helpful for your state your current and desired tire sizes. My preference in LT-rated E-load tires remains BFG All Terrain ko, although on my (sig) truck, I chose Toyos noted above due to broader size and load rating options in my preferred OEM 275/65R18 (32.1") size. I won't be loading my truck bed beyond that of installed cap/topped, various tools and camping gear plus my small travel trailer only weighs prox 3200#. I had BFG kos in E-load on my former Nissan Frontier and they were overkill for intended use while riding much stiffer with that transmitted to steering wheel on the highway...
BTW, BFG should be releasing their new ko2 version soon but unsure whether all current sizes will be offered initially. Seems unlikely until pipeline of older ko tires is depleted.

I have a 2014 Ford f150 5l. 4X4. Supercab I am running Bfgoodrich AT's 285/70/17 10 ply on the hwy I am getting 12L - 100km around town I am at 14.8 - 100km. Oh the stock tires were 235/75/17. The 285's are 1.81 of an inch bigger. I never ran on the stock tires so I am not sure how much of a fuel loss there would be. I had a 2009 ranger 4L 5speed my 150 gets better mileage.

I took my 275/65-18 GY SRA tires off Monday and replaced with Cooper AT3 same size and still P rated. I haven't really noticed much of a difference yet in fuel economy. I will say that the Coopers handle much better and the road noise is only slightly more.
