Tires
Keep in mind she has a fiberglass bed.
Don’t care about mileage.
Want one set of tires for year round, so snow and slush is a big factor. About 5k mikes a year.
Don’t really do off-roading. Most I do is go in a field with chopped down saplings.
Load consists of towing loaded 3k pound trailer (total with ATV) 20-30 Times a year, usually 60 miles round trip and sometimes 200.
I am 90% sure I’ve settled on the KO2.
265/70R17
Do I stick with P or go to LT load C? Was thinking yes due to the extra depth of lugs and additional rubber.
My understanding is the P is technically Load C also.
Or do I hit Load range E?

For your 2001 F150, right?
I have a '99 Explorer with 235-75x15s. Michelin XLT load range C tires.
Compared to the '98 Explorer I had with 235-75 x 15 P rated tires, it is a more controlled ride, without noticeable harshness.
I think C rated tires would work fine for you.
Have you had tire damage in that field "off road" situation?
