Locking Lug Nuts
Hey guys,
I read a post earlier from someone whose mods include locking lug nuts. The first time I rotated/balanced my tires, I realized my truck did not have them. The Lightning pamphlet and spec sheet says that locking lug nuts are standard?
Are mine missing or do any of you have stock locking lug nuts?
Maybe the dealer forgot to install on delivery?
Thanks for your help
Brad

It seems to be one of those "specifications are subject to change" things. Apparently no one got them. I took someones advice from this board and got the F-150 Locking lugs from the dealer. They are made by McGuard for Ford. The only problem is they are black in colour. That didn't bother me though as you can't notice them and it adds a little bit of piece of mind knowing that there is at least something protecting those big meats on each corner of your truck.

PBgas: I went through the same B.S. and even called tech at McGard who confirmed that the chrome lockers were not made and I would be forced to use the black ones from the stock F150 that Ford carried. You are also right that the look isn't too bad. Much better, I felt, than ordering new rims and tires at about $3500 since ALL F150's have the same bolt pattern and what an invitation that is.
To those that got the locking lug nuts, did the (Ford) dealer furnish them for free? Just curious.
