Tire Load Range

Hey all, I am new to Tacoma World and happy to be here!

I’m looking at getting a new set of tires on my gen 2 TRD off-road, and am wondering if there are any clear advantages/disadvantages to the different tire load ranges offered.

Considering the fact that the Tacoma is a mid-sized truck, I know an E rated tire is not necessary nor recommended in some cases. What are the advantages and disadvantages you guys have encountered with E rated tires on your Tacomas?

Are lighter load range tires clearly the better option on the Tacoma specifically?

Some context: I use my Tacoma as my daily driver, as well as my trustee all terrain vehicle camping, hunting, fishing, and moderate off-road use whenever possible. Where I live,summers are dry and hot, and winters arecold and very snowy. My off-roading consistsof mountain and desert trails and roads, and moderate rock crawling.

If you want more than 15 mpg, don’t get E range tires.

I’ve been running falken AT3w in SL load rating. it’s been a great tire on and off road and hasn’t impacted fuel economy. I got 56,000 miles out of my first set.
