Gorilla 61148BCX. This kit is cool because you can get an extra one for the glove box in case you lose one or it gets messed up. They are “OEM” style and have the same dimensions and hex size as the originals which is nice since I didn’t want really tall lug nuts, and you retain the ability to use the stock spare tire iron if needed.

I primarily got them because I’ve had issues on prior Ford vehicles with the original two piece nuts swelling over time. They do come in chrome as well but I think the black turned out really sharp since there isn’t any chrome on the truck otherwise.
Dumb question .. how do you know these won't corrode? They do look nice. Thanks

I don’t to be honest…they are coated steel just like most lug nuts. If they corrode I’ll probably try the McGards - but for now they are holding up fine. I’m in the south so rust doesn’t seem to be too much of an issue on vehicles but I wiped some spray wax on them anyways.

I ordered them and will give it a try. I remember seeing the chrome plated ones corrode and cause problems, trying to remove them. Thanks!

I'm a little bit nervous about these new black ones, as they don't appear to be beefy enough around the base.

Wife said the Mazda driver ran into her right after light turned green.

Said she felt a “slight bump”.

Everyone is ok, and I’m sad I’ll have to send it off for repairs, but damn, happy to have a truck!
