Lug Nuts!

I just picked up my 2026 F250 and have been wondering if the Super Duty's come with Ford's famous aluminum jacketed lug nuts. You know the self-swelling type. It took me several hours to cut the jackets off my F150 so I would like to replace them prior to them becoming difficult to remove. Any replacement recommendations? I used Gorilla lug nuts on my F150 and they were fine. Thanks.

Just be aware that the factory nuts are two-piece (in addition to the jacket) with a funky flat faced washer that seems to have a dimpled mechanism that presumably helps dissuade loosening. Very weird feeling torquing them.

Yes, Ford still uses these irritating OEM lug nuts!
I just replaced mine with coyoteaccessories.com 861148 Chrome

Cool. But you have to buy 40(?). Weird.

I have 115,000 miles on the original lug nuts in Michigan and haven't had any issues with swelling to this point, rotated every 5000 miles.

Yes, strange they package them with 40!
I bought mine thru Trick Trucks and was able to get just 32.
