2021 Ford Expedition Wheel Lug Nut Torque FAQs
What is the lug nut torque on a 2021 Ford Expedition?+
150 lb-ft (204 N·m) for the M14 x 1.5 wheel lug nuts, from the 2021 U.S. Expedition owner manual for factory wheel hardware.
Does 150 lb-ft apply to an older Expedition?+
No. Earlier generations, aftermarket wheels and replacement fasteners with a different seat design all require their own instructions.
When must the lug nuts be rechecked?+
Within 100 miles (160 km) after tire rotation, flat-tire service or any other wheel removal.
Why does the hub need to be clean first?+
The joint depends on clean metal-to-metal contact. Dirt, rust and loose corrosion on the hub pilot or mating faces prevent the wheel from seating, so the clamp load reached at 150 lb-ft will not survive the debris settling.
