Default Lug nut size?

So I looked around but I couldn't find an answer. Getting to the factory lug nut wrench is a major pain in the *** when you have a child car seat on the passanger side back seat. What is the lug nut size for the 2017's? I'd like to just go get a socket and a breaker bar to keep handy in the garage without having to dig that factory one out. Plus it gives me an excuse to buy more tools.

Thanks guys.

I personally carry a 21mm with my breaker bar. Others say 13/16 is the way to go. I found the 21mm fits best for me. I also carry a cheap torque wrench to torque to 150lb.

Awesome, thank you. 19mm is the largest socket I have currently.

You should eventually upgrade your nuts to some good solid metal ones because the stock ones are garbage.

21mm seems to work the best.

N.B. if you do buy new lug nuts, check the pitch because Ford changed it for newer models. I found this out when I first tried to mount my 2010 winter wheels on my 2016...I needed a different type of lug nut so I couldn't re-use the 2016's >> $100 spent on a new set.
