Ford Wheel Lug Torque Specs

Ford Wheel Lug Torque Specs
I couldn't find this # in my owners manual, so I did a search on this forum and came up with 150 ft/lbs. torque for the wheel lugs. This was taken from a TSB post and I'm not sure if it was for the factory steel rims or the aluminum Lariat rims. Just for my peace of mind, is this the correct number for the Lariat rims? I went ahead and torqued them at 150 ft/lbs. when I rotated the tires, but that seemed kind of excessive to me
Thanks,
Scott

Justis01, it should be in the owners manual. It is in mine, I'm just not at home right now where I can tell you the page. You might go to www.motorcraftservice.com in the owners section and download the owners manual in PDF format so you can search for things rather than paging thru the manual.

Since my truck has steel wheels, I have been tightening them to 110. I don't think I would ever go near 150 ft lbs.
