I had Nitto G2's, 37x12.5 on 20's. They were fine pulling a 26 ft. loaded enclosed trailer. I think it's dumb to get mud tires if you tow often. Get a 37 road tire.

How about if you have to tow through mud?

Yep, unless you are mud bogging or rock crawling your Superduty, it's looks vs. performance period. .....I'm often amazed at how many people choose form over function.

I run my 35" tall tires aired down all the time, the truck rides great. We even did a 5000 mile road trip in the truck last spring.

I do not think a 37" tire will ride that much better. Much of ride is controlling unsprung weight and 37's are generally quite a bit heavier than 35's.

I think there is more ride improvement to be had by going with an 18" wheel and 35" tire than a 20" wheel and 37" tire but a 37" tire on a Carli suspension would probably ride the best...

I think 37’s look great on these trucks, but my bed rail to fifth wheel clearance with 35’s (295/65r20) is already less than I would like. As long as I’m hauling a fiver, I’ll have to stick with 35’s.

I had AT3's on my Gen2 Raptor, they are fantastic.. likely what I'm going to when my OE Duratracs go out; Expecting next week when I pass over 13k miles.
