Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specification – 2016 Ford Explorer

2016 Workshop Manual Incorrect Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specification

The 2016 Explorer Workshop Manual incorrectly lists the wheel lug nut torque for the Explorer and Police Utility at 162 lb-ft (220 nm).

 

The wheel lug nut torque for 2016 Explorer and Police Utility remains the same as the 2015 Model.

The correct torque for the 2016 Explorer is 100 lb-ft (135 nm). The correct torque for the 2016 Police Utility is 110 lb-ft (149 nm).

The Workshop Manual is being updated to reflect the correct torque specifications.

  1. I was wondering if the same is true for the 2016 Edge. The Edge manual also indicates 162 lb-ft of torque. I change and rotate the tires myself and can’t see myself even attempting to remove a lug nut by hand with 162 lb-ft of torque.
