Interesting. Of the ones listed the one I would buy is on backorder. Of course, it is wider than what is currently on the truck, so maybe the correct one is not on backorder? I have been checking online tire stores and according to Tire Agent my truck came with two different sizes. either 235/70r-17, or 255/70r-17. Another site says that with the tow package the tire size is 245/70r-17. My truck has the tow package and the current tires on the rear are the 245/17r-17s. I have no such fear of buying used tires. For the price of one brand new one I can get two good used ones. Most the tires I have bought in my life were used. I bought four new tires for the Stratus, and two new tires for the Charger, but only because I had credit cards back then, I have two credit cards now, but one of them is for people with bad credit, and they charge an annual fee and a horrendous 36% interest rate. I will be using that to buy the tires, and possibly to get the AC working. The other card only has a $300 limit and since the pandemic food stamps have been cancelled, I have been using it to buy food. Once I pay off the tires and AC work, I plan on getting rid of that high interest card.

Check the sticker inside of the door jamb. That will tell you the tire size that the truck came with.

A 265/70R17 will fit. It's only slightly larger. And it's a little cheaper.
