How Does GVWR Affect F-250 Ranger XLT Tire Fitment?

Different GVWR configurations can have different documented tire selections within the same model year. For 1980, 4x2 GVWR 6350 lists five 16.5-inch sizes, while 4x2 GVWR 7650 adds 7.50-16LT/E but uses a different group of 16.5-inch options. In 1981, 4x4 GVWR 6700 lists three tire sizes, whereas 4x4 GVWR 8700 lists only 9.50-16.5LT/E. Match the GVWR together with the year, drivetrain and cab configuration.

Check Tire Sizes for Other Ford F-250 Models and Trims

If your truck carries another F-250 model or trim designation, use its dedicated hub to check year-specific tire sizes and factory configurations. Do not apply an F-250 Ranger XLT fitment to another F-250 variant without verifying that vehicle separately.
