Dont forget an All terrain tire is much easier to get rolling than a mud tire, the mud tire has a much higher rolling resistance.

I am leaning toward the 275/65/20 BFG AT/TO

They are 57lbs and 34.1" which should fill up my wheel well nicely with the minimal lift I am doing. If it dogs the truck then I guess somebody will get a nice set of new/used tires at a discount.

Max tire size for ecoboost with 3.55 gears-image-1749321418.jpg

Got the bfgs ur talking about with the lift ur describing. Looks good. But mpg is 15 all highway .... But it hasn't been recalibrated since putting the tires in so maybe it's more like 16???

That will be a nice tire, I like the BFG A/T, just doesnt work where I go camping, gets too muddy.

I am only getting 13 city but haven't really done enough highway driving yet so perhaps I won't until I get this work done so I won't know the difference . Can you even get it recalibrated with that tire from FORD? I heard they only go up to a certain size and I am not sure if these are covered.

Also depends a lot how much the tires weigh, toyos are some of the heaviest tires there are.
I have the Bilsteins leveling coil overs up front set at top setting and 3" rear blocks and 34"tires
(34x10.5/17 bfg ko2's load D)
They are lighter than a lot of tires that size, 56lbs/each.
Toyo's in that size are over 70lbs/each
I have 3.31 gears and have minimal off of the line power loss with stock tune. Tuned its night and day difference, can roast the tires with ease.
