Best All-Terrain Tires for Ford F-150
An F-150 spends most of its life on asphalt and the rest of it somewhere it shouldn't be. That's the all-terrain tire's whole job. These five do it without turning your truck into a noisy, thirsty handful, and every one of them is snow-rated or close to it. We ranked them by what they're actually for, not by who spends the most on ads.

Our pick
Buy the BFGoodrich KO3 if your F-150 tows, hauls, or sees rocks and you want the sidewall to survive it. Buy the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W if you want 90% of that grip with a 65,000-mile warranty and a friendlier price. Buy the Toyo Open Country A/T III if the truck is a commuter that occasionally goes camping, because it's the quietest tire here and it still wears the snowflake.
Top Picks
#1 Pick
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3
Best for: Work trucks, tow rigs, and anyone who breaks tires
The KO2 was the default F-150 all-terrain for a decade. The KO3 keeps the look and fixes the two complaints: sidewall cuts and wet grip. It's still the priciest tire on the page, and it's still worth it if you use the truck like a truck.
Pros
- ✓Tougher sidewall than the KO2 it replaced
- ✓Snow-rated (3PMSF) and a 50,000-mile warranty
- ✓Proven on every truck in the county
Cons
- ✗Premium price, every time
- ✗Heavier than the quiet all-terrains
- ✗Hums a little on the highway
#2 Pick
Falken Wildpeak A/T4W
Best for: The best warranty and winter grip per dollar
Falken's fourth-generation Wildpeak is the value play that doesn't feel like one. Deeper tread than the A/T3W it replaced, a 65,000-mile warranty on P-metric sizes, and a three-peak snowflake. The only real knock is weight, so keep it P-metric unless you tow.
Pros
- ✓Best warranty in the group: 65,000 miles P-metric, 60,000 LT
- ✓Snow-rated (3PMSF) with real winter bite
- ✓Costs less than the KO3 for similar grip
Cons
- ✗Heavy, especially in LT sizes
- ✗LT sizes ride stiff on an unloaded truck
- ✗Not as many years of track record as its rivals
#3 Pick
Toyo Open Country A/T III
Best for: Daily drivers that want the look without the hum
Toyo built the A/T III for people who read the noise complaints on every other all-terrain. It's the quietest, most refined tire here, still snow-rated, and it comes in more F-150 sizes than anything else. The trade is milder shoulder lugs, so it's not the mud pick.
Pros
- ✓Quietest all-terrain on this list
- ✓Snow-rated (3PMSF) with a 65,000-mile P-metric warranty
- ✓Wears evenly if you rotate it
Cons
- ✗Milder shoulder lugs than the KO3 or A/T4W
- ✗Mud packs the tread faster
- ✗Mid-to-premium price
#4 Pick
Nitto Recon Grappler A/T
Best for: Leveled trucks on 20s and 22s that want some attitude
The Recon Grappler is what you buy when a Ridge Grappler is too much tire and a Terra Grappler is too little. Aggressive shoulders, an all-terrain center, and Nitto's deep 20-inch and 22-inch size chart make it the natural fit for a leveled F-150 on factory-plus wheels.
Pros
- ✓Looks halfway to a Ridge Grappler, rides like an all-terrain
- ✓Two sidewall designs on every tire
- ✓Deep 20"/22" size range for leveled trucks
Cons
- ✗Newer design with less long-term wear data
- ✗Louder than the A/T III
- ✗Not the pick if snow is your main problem
#5 Pick
Nitto Terra Grappler G3
Best for: Mostly-pavement trucks on a budget
Honest all-terrain looks, highway manners, and now a three-peak snowflake. The Terra Grappler G3 is the smart buy for an F-150 that goes to the job site and the lake and nowhere scarier. It's also the cheapest way onto this page.
Pros
- ✓Snow-rated (3PMSF), a first for the Terra Grappler line
- ✓Quiet and easy on fuel for an all-terrain
- ✓Right price for a truck that mostly commutes
Cons
- ✗Least aggressive tread here
- ✗Skip it for real mud
- ✗Sidewall is a step below the KO3

Buyer's Guide
How to pick an all-terrain for an F-150
Start with how the truck earns its keep. If it tows a trailer or carries a bed full of tools, buy an LT-rated tire with a three-ply sidewall and take the KO3 or the A/T4W in a load range E. If it hauls kids and groceries and gets muddy twice a year, a P-metric A/T III or Terra Grappler G3 will ride better, weigh less, and cost less at the pump.
Second, decide whether you care about the snowflake. The KO3, A/T4W, A/T III, and G3 all carry the three-peak mountain snowflake, which means they passed a real severe-snow traction test. The Recon Grappler doesn't. If you live where it snows, that's the tiebreaker.
Sizes that fit without drama
Stock F-150 sizes run 265/70R17, 275/65R18, 275/60R20, and 275/55R20 depending on trim, and every tire here comes in all four. The popular one-step upgrade is a 285/70R17 or 295/70R18, which is a 33-inch tire that fits with a leveling kit and maybe a little liner trimming. Run the numbers on our tire size calculator before you buy, because a 35 on a stock-height F-150 rubs, and everybody on the forum who says it doesn't is lying or already cut the fender.
What you give up versus a mud tire
Deep mud and slick clay are where all-terrains tap out. If that's most of your off-road time, read the all-terrain vs mud-terrain guide and look at our mud tire picks for the F-150. If you want the aggressive look with all-terrain manners, the hybrid picks split the difference. And if you want the one-page overview of all three, that's the main F-150 off-road tire guide.
Before you buy, confirm the size fits: our free calculator compares diameter, ride-height, and speedometer error against your stock size.
Tire Size Calculator →Frequently Asked Questions
What size all-terrain tire fits a stock F-150?+
Whatever came on it: 265/70R17, 275/65R18, 275/60R20, or 275/55R20 depending on trim. A 285/70R17 or 295/70R18 (about 33 inches) fits most 2015-and-newer trucks with a 2-inch leveling kit. Anything 35 inches or larger needs a lift and trimming.
Are LT tires worth it on an F-150?+
Only if you tow, haul, or air down on rocks. LT tires have stiffer, tougher sidewalls, but they weigh more, ride harder unloaded, and cost more. For a daily driver, a P-metric or XL-rated version of the same tire is the better ride.
Which all-terrain is quietest on an F-150?+
The Toyo Open Country A/T III, followed closely by the Nitto Terra Grappler G3. The KO3 and Wildpeak A/T4W are noticeably louder at highway speed, though neither is a mud-tire howl.
Do all-terrain tires hurt F-150 fuel economy?+
Expect to lose 1 to 2 mpg going from a highway tire to an all-terrain in the stock size, and more if you go up a size or into LT load ranges. Weight is the main culprit, which is why the lighter P-metric A/T III and G3 hurt the least.
KO3 or Wildpeak A/T4W for an F-150?+
KO3 if you want the toughest sidewall and the longest track record. A/T4W if you want the longer warranty and a lower price with similar off-road grip. Both are snow-rated. Most owners who aren't rock-crawling will be happier with the money the Falken leaves in their pocket.
