Lug nut torque

[Artie1036]

I've searched for torque specs for 2013 Explorer wheel lug nuts and found nothing. Is this not written down somewhere? I did find a 2009 and pre spec. of 100 lbs. Is it still the same 100 lbs for newer vehicles?

100 ft-lbs will be close enough. That's been the spec for nearly every car I've worked on.

Not to mention, is your wrench within calibration? Probably not. Mine's not. It'll get you close enough to not worry about though.

Thanks. I found the same information on a different page of my manual. Still 100 ft/lbs.
