Question about the Bronco Lug Nuts

[BDR]

OK my Bronco isn't Scheduled to be built until 6/8/2023 however here is my question my wife's 2017 Ford Fusion's stock Lugnuts were a Steel Nut with a Chrome Cover pressed overtop ...... they were terrible and after a Ford Tech may have used an Impact Wrench just a little to hard during a wheel rotation when I went to remove her wheel when she had a flat I needed to Beat a Wrench onto the nut to be able to get enough bite to remove it .... well I fixed that situation with a Proper Lug Wrench and some Gorilla Nuts the wrench supplied to install the Spare was made from Stamped Steel and Rounded out when trying to get the lug nuts off.

So does the Bronco come with a "Real" Lug Wrench or should I plan on getting a Proper Wrench and Socket to leave in the Truck and are the Lug Nuts "Real" or the Cheap Metal with a Dress Cap Pressed overtop.

If so I will be replacing them with a Set of Gorilla Nuts shortly after taking delivery of the Truck.

Thanks

That's an excellent question had to replace the OEM "pressed cover" lug nuts with aftermarket solid lugs on Raptor and GT350...

So now I wonder what the Lug Wrench looks like my Wife's Fusion had a Terrible Pressed metal monstrosity that I replaced with a Proper Gorilla Automotive 1721 Telescoping Power Wrench and a Real Socket Sounds like I will be ordering another from Amazon

Which model Gorilla Nuts fit?

Regardless of whose nuts you are using…. Get the proper 6 point socket and a proper breaker bar to get them off and to retighten.

which gorilla nuts work with the factory wheels?

all the ones i've found explicitly state they're not compatible with factory wheels

Agreed, one of the first things I replaced on my Bronco.

https://www.merricktool.com/ I bought one and carry it with me for others to use. Yes it's very pricy but will NOT round lug nuts off. Nice man that invented it and USA made. Jim.

Thanks for this, I was unaware of the Merrick sockets. Is it 19mm that we require? (sorry, I do not have my Bronco yet!)

Yes

These work just fine on the factory sas wheels. The taper is identical, although the diameter is slightly smaller. I have run them for about 4k miles (and others have run them as well) without issue.
