Neither Dealer of Ford Can Answer Question about Wheels.
Got a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Just bought a 2013 F-150 XLT 2 months ago. Sport Trac has 4 new BF Goodrich top of the line all season tires on it, these suckers drive on snow & icy roads like glue.
My question is would the 16" rims & tires fit on the XLT? Looking at the two vehicles side by side they are about the same height.

Google is your friend.
No reason any competent person at your dealer(s) shouldn't be able to answer this.
2001 Explorer Sport Track shows as 5 lug rim on 4.5" spacing.
What year is your F150 and are they 5 or 6 lug rims?

I Like Tires
No they will not.
1. It's the wrong bolt pattern as your 2013 F150 has a 6x135 bolt pattern.
2. Due to rotor and caliper sizes 17" is the smallest wheel that will fit your F150.
Pre 2004 F150s can fit 16" rims but they use a 5x135 bolt pattern if I remember correctly.
Even at that I doubt the tires on your sport trac would be a high enough load range for your F150 but they could be.
