Black Gorilla Lug Nuts

[Yukon Joe]

Ever have an issue with the factory lug nuts swelling or the chrome caps being twisted?
This drives me nuts (literally).

I ordered a set of these today for my Gen4 Expedition from summit racing.

Gorilla Black chrome acorn bulge lug nut, 14mm × 2.0.

The Gorilla part #s are

91108XLBC - bulk

91108XLBCB - bag

91107XLBC - clamshell package

They will match the FX4 wheel much better than the chrome factory ones, and last much longer.

I ended up buying the wrong thread pitch. Ther correct one is 14mm x 1.50. I'll be returning the Gorilla lugs for the correct ones.

Ordered the right ones this time.
Gorilla part number 61147BCX.

This has the acorn stock shape. 14mm x 1.50 thread pitch, and 13/16" lug wrench.

Yaay crap factory lugnuts survived yet another generation change

You must use a hand wrench on the stock nuts. Any impact wrench will suck the stainless overlay off of them.

Doesn't matter. That's all I use is a hand wrench at home. The lugs on my Raptor have swollen to the point that I need to use a 22mm socket to remove them. Not only that, but you can feel the cap rotate before it grabs the solid portion below. I ordered solid lugs for the Raptor, and now for the Expedition. Get rid of them before they become an issue.

Thank you Joe -- I'll keep a watch on them,

I’m using these on my 2017 and they should work on the 2018 as well:

See if Venum has your gen's size and pitch... they got solid affordable "wheel lock" products for earlier Ford trucks on Amazon. Muuuch cheaper than gorilla

And they even include a second, impact-grade key. Very nice touch.


PS they're not mad tricky locks, just a special 7-spline socket. Think of it as a freebie deterrent against amateur punks
