Ok, I’ve read the lug nut threads but have come away a bit confused. I have a 2017 XL Limited. The factory lug nuts are starting to swell and I want to replace them with something solid. What size do I need and where to order? Thanks!

Thanks! I don’t want the special wrench, just standard Hex. But I can figure out what I need from that. I take it we need the 2” length over the standard 1.4”? Thanks so much!

Gorilla Nuts! :chewie:


Yes on the longer length (I think, pretty sure that my '14 requires the same). If you get the "normal" hexes I'd recommend getting a set of Gorillas for locks... really good product.

Took one of mine off and measured, 21mm or 13/16” wrench, 14x1.5 size, and overall length 1.6”. So the 1.4” size is too short. Low and behold, Gorilla now offers a “Factory style” for F150s that matches the stock dimensions, 61148CX. Ordered and should arrive in about a week. Will update after their arrival! Thanks!

i think this is the #1 mod recc for ALL years and models of Expy's

being nickel/chrome plate, they can rust eventually
so keep them clean and even a little wax or something aint a bad idea

I put new ones on last year from Wheel Adapters USA and they're already rusty. Does anyone have long-term results from the Gorillas?
