I am working on a 2017 Ford F-150 today. I had to remove a wheel to gain access to make a repair. I ruined all 6 lug nuts …because they would not come out of the socket. And God forbid you get a flat in one of these Turds. The factory lug wrench won’t even fit on the lug nuts…..and even if you got it on….you cannot get the lug nut out of that factory lug wrench. So I did a little googling…..and it seems like a big Nope Up from Ford….You Ford truck ownahs have been warned……..

Need ya one of these. Thats a common issue on every vehicle that comes in our shop that has lug nuts with the cheap pressed on chrome cap, heck we even have 19.5, 21.5, and 22.5 millimeter sockets and sometimes they wont fit.

I have a 2013 and found out last Spring I had swollen nuts on my truck. When I had oil change, they informed me they could not rotate tires because of it. Ford had the problem for several years and they dodged doing a recall. They offered to replace all 24 of them for $239.00! Great people! As you did, google told me the whole story. I replaced with after market for a fraction of what they wanted.

I bet they saved $5 using those cheap lugnuts on that overpriced vehicle.

My 1979 f 150 tires come off just fine, and I can do almost anything with a simple tool box. Only chrome on the truck is the knobs on the radio. Not a single computer anywhere. 69,000 original one owner miles.

You have to use the truck to talk about how great it is. That must have been a drive to church only truck.

I do use it how do you think I got 69000 miles on it. Who says I have to use it to talk about it? I can talk about it if I want.

You won't have that trouble with a Chevy. You can replace blown motors with the tires on the truck.

That's the stupid nonbinary non mechanically inclined skinny Jean wearing oily beard hipster engineers fault. Auto engineers must be intoxicated while working. I swear some of the stuff they design makes you swear in languages you didn't know.

Dodges have the same problem. Beat the socket on with a hammer, beat the nut out of the socket with a punch

I have a 2019 f350. The lugnut come off easily on it but it requires a sledgehammer to get the wheels off.
