Lug nut torque specs

I am going to rotate my tires and i was curious about the amount of Ft LB torque that the lug nuts should be tightened to.

It should be in the back of your owner's manual. A good rule of thumb is 100 pounds for steel wheels, never over 110 unless you have a split nut design, and between 85-90 for aluminum. Unless it is a Expedition (yours is a 2002 F-150) in which case I believe it is 120 for the aluminum rims?

Really, it varies widely depending on vehicle and wheel choice.
