Lug Nut Torque

Had some aluminum wheels with snow tires installed on my 2000 F-150 and tire dealer said to torque to 150lbs per lug nut. Is that right? Thanks!

Wow seems rather high to me, I never looked up the torque specs, but on my F150's over the years I always just torqued the wheels to 100 ft/lbs and called it a day.

We used to torque them at 100 also. Is your truck a 7700 edition?
