The Recommended Tire Pressure for Your Ford F-150

Keeping your F-150 truck’s tire pressure at the recommended psi extends the life of your tires. It also enhances your truck’s performance and fuel economy. And if you’re looking to double-check that you’re using the right PSI recommendations for your Ford F-150 truck, here’s where you’ll find it.

For most Ford F-150 trucks, Ford recommends setting all four tires to a tire pressure of 35 psi. This provides the best balance of comfort, traction, fuel economy, and load-bearing capabilities. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tire’s load-carrying capability.

There is an exception to this rule: models designed to handle heavier payloads. The LT275/65R18C OWL all-terrain tires in the Heavy-Duty Payload Package can carry a heavier maximum load at a recommended tire pressure of 42 psi.

How to Find Tire Pressure Readings in the Ford F-150

Most modern Ford F-150 trucks are equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System that provides tire pressure readings for all four tires in the truck’s instrument cluster display. This information can be accessed using the directional buttons on your truck’s steering wheel.
