What Type Are OEM Ford F150 Lug Nuts?
The OEM factory lug nuts on F150s are a cone seat mag wheel nut. This means they have a tapered shape to align and secure mag wheels. Aftermarket lug nuts come in different seat styles like ball seat and spline drive. But stick with cone seat lug nuts if you have the stock wheels to ensure a snug fit. OEM Ford F150 lug nuts also have a smooth rounded shape without any decorative styling. Aftermarket options can have star, hex or other designs for appearance.
What Size Socket Are Ford F150 Lug Nuts?
To remove and install Ford F150 lug nuts, you’ll need a 21mm socket. A standard 6-point 21mm socket is preferred over 12-point sockets since they grip better and are less likely to round off lug nuts. Make sure to use a torque socket. A 13/16 inch drive socket will fit most impact wrenches and allow you to get the proper torque. It’s also a good idea to have a lug nut socket with a flexible extension. This allows you to easily reach the lug nuts at an angle.
What Torque Are Ford F150 Lug Nuts?
Proper lug nut torque ensures wheel security and prevents wheels from coming loose. All 2004-2025 Ford F150 lug nut torque is 204 Nm (150 ft/lbs).
Always use a calibrated torque wrench when installing lug nuts. Do not rely on tightening by hand with a socket or impact wrench, as this can lead to over or under torque. It’s also good practice to re-torque the wheels after around 100 miles of driving to ensure proper seat.
