Nice looking truck, but ya it needs something in the wheel department.
What color is the front bumper?

rnkburg

its not quite black, but a very very very dark grey I guess you would say

not true, they are also optional on XLT, FX4 and Lariat trucks, but usually require you to buy the "Off-Road package" as well.

I had hankook tires on a 07 explorer eddie bauer and they were great. One model of the same brand can be totally different than the others.

I don't know if its the tires, or what, but this truck feels lighter, and it seems to walk on the road where the other truck was planted there. Can't put my finger on that one

Same here so far so good. I have 3500 miles on mine and they have seen only light snow so far. If they cant handle the Cleveland winter, I will get rid of them, but I have to see what they can do first.

I would be afraid to take those tires into Cleveland winter to be honest

Not to split hairs....

The GAWR on the F150's, is 4050. (it it not a half ton anymore, the payoads are closer to 1 ton these days). The P rated tires, at least mine, at 44 PSI, are 2409 lbs each, or, 4818 lbs combined, or, 800 pounds more than the rear axel rating. The P rated tires are well within specs of the F150 rear axel.

Personally, I upgraded to Nitto XL rated tires, with American Racing rims. The Nittos give over 5000 lbs of weight rating, at max pressure (VERY IMPORTANT!), which is way more than the rear axel is rated for anyways.

LTs can go beyond 6000 lbs weight rating. But why bother if the axel is only 4050.

"LTs can go beyond 6000 lbs weight rating. But why bother if the axel is only 4050."

LTs have more plys and thicker sidewalls. They can take more abuse on rock roads and off road. Typically the tread depth is deeper resulting in more potential traction off road and longer wear.

There is more to it than weight capacity.
