If you own a Ford Escape, one of the most important maintenance tasks is ensuring your lug nuts are properly tightened and in good condition. But what exactly are the specs for Ford Escape lug nuts? In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about lug nut size, thread pattern, and why premium aftermarket options like BONOSS lug nuts are the way to go.
Ford Escape Lug Nut Size and Thread Pattern
The lug nuts on Ford Escapes have a thread size of M12 x 1.5. This means the nuts have a 12mm diameter thread with 1.5mm spacing between the threads. As for the socket size needed to properly fit and tighten/loosen the lug nuts, you’ll want a 19mm or 3/4″ socket.
It’s crucial to use the properly sized socket to avoid rounding off the lug nuts or overstraining the threads. Using an incorrectly sized socket can lead to serious safety issues down the road.
Why Choose BONOSS Aftermarket Ford Escape Lug Nuts?
While the factory lug nuts will certainly get the job done, there are some compelling reasons to upgrade to premium aftermarket lug nuts like those offered by BONOSS:
Superior Strength and Durability. BONOSS lug nuts are forged from 50BV30 steel, which offers exceptional strength and resistance to deformation. With a proof load rating of ≥105,700N, you can be confident these lug nuts will stay securely fastened even under extreme conditions.
Surface Hardening for Corrosion Resistance. A special surface treatment process results in a neutral salt spray resistance of ≥500 hours for BONOSS lug nuts. This hardening helps prevent corrosion, seizure, and makes the lug nuts easier to remove when necessary.
Whether you’re upgrading for added peace of mind, superior corrosion resistance, or want the security of locking wheel nuts, BONOSS lugnuts are an excellent choice for your Ford Escape.
Get the Right Lug Nuts for Your Escape. Proper lug nut selection and installation is critical for safe vehicle operation. For Ford Escapes, you’ll want M12 x 1.5 lug nuts that can be torqued with a 19mm or 3/4″ socket. While OEM nuts are fine, premium aftermarket options like those from BONOSS offer compelling advantages in strength, corrosion resistance, security, and warranty coverage. Do your research and invest in quality lug nuts to keep your Escape operating safely for years to come.
