For the F-350 Ranger XLT, the most useful distinction is wheel diameter: the documented 1980 choices are all 16.5-inch fitments, while 1981 also includes two 16-inch options. Start with the correct year, then use the truck's exact configuration to determine which complete size and load-range designation belongs on it before shopping.
Original equipment choices for the F-350 Ranger XLT split into two distinct wheel styles: four specific 16.5-inch light truck sizes carried over across both production years, whereas the 16-inch rim configurations only appeared on the 1981 option list.

Before exploring our active inventory or purchasing new tires, ensure your selection matches your truck's model year, exact wheel diameter, and full load capacity rating.
Wheel diameter provides a useful first check on the F-350 Ranger XLT because its documented 16-inch and 16.5-inch fitments use different tire designations.
