Default Best TIRES?? (Stock 18" size)

Howdy,

Time for new tires for me and I'm wondering what you guys are liking on your trucks.

I have the 18" rims and want to stick with the stock tire size (275/65r18), but can't figure out for the life of me what to get.

I tow 3 times a month, and the trailer weighs roughly 3500lbs. I drive a ton of dirt roads, so puncture-resistance is huge. I'm in Colorado, so it needs to be an all terrain tire that is good in snow/ice.

I had General Grabber AT2's on my Tacoma and absolutely loved them. I was looking at these for the F-150, and they only come in load range E. Is that too much and will my ride be really crappy?
