7 Lug Ex?

I was out camping this past weekend/week and saw an Ex with 7 lugs!?!? What year would have come with a 7 lug setup? ... 99? Couldn't tell if it was a PSD or V10 as he was only there for one night...but it was "interesting" none-the-less. Kinda looked like the E250/E350 wheels you see with 7 lugs showing...was that only a wheel cover or something?...different and never seen by me before...

I've seen F250's with 7 lugs but NEVER and Ex...thought I'd ask.

joe.

That was a wheel cover. Early, lower-end models had the steel wheels with those hubcaps.

If it wasn`t a wheel cover, could it have been an early 5.4 2WD?

Nope .It was a wheel cover. To my knowledge,Ford has only used 4,5,6 and 8 lug patterns for quite a while. The 7 on the wheel cover was just used for symetry.

Aint no way a PSD or a V10 would be caught dead with 7 lugs...it had to be a 5.4L (cough*coughgassercough*cough)

Yeah them 7 lug hubcaps will get ya every time. I had seen em before but never paid no attn that there was only 7 lugs on there....then buddy brought a truck home he bought and I was teasing him that he only had 7 lugs, neither of us knew it was only the hub cap at the time. Anyhow i'm sure those wheel covers will fit most ford steelies so if someone actually liked em enough to want to put em on (yuck!)

97-up 'light duty' F250 trucks were true 7 lugs. They only lasted a couple years.

Yeah...those were the 250's with the F150 body. (The new body style...well...the one before this latest one) They continued to make them until...I don't know when...they had a 7-lug semi-floating rear axle. They ended up calling them F-150s with the "Payload Package".

Nah I believe you...it is just freaky to look at an EXCURSION with those STUPID caps!

The light duty F250's were pure 7 lug and had caps to match...seeing that cap on teh Ex was just freakish looking!
