If you really don't want to pay for LT or flotation size tires get a car.
The weaker size walls and lower inflation pressure could likely result in worse fuel milage even if you use a p metric LRR tire compared to using a low rolling resistance LT highway tire.

When I worked at the local Ford garage, all the new half tons came in with P designation tires. Every old Half-ton I've seen (including mine) also designates a P tire. I've only every seen LT tires specified on 3/4 ton plus, which is why half tons have tire pressure specs of 35-41 PSI, and 3/4 and tonners specify 65-80, depending on tire location.
