I own 3 trucks and a travel trailer with these lug nuts. I use 1/2" breaker bar with proper size long and short sockets. If you use a short socket on the longer lugnut you can kill them....

did not care about the security just being able to get them off the truck and have them last longer than what FORD has

Do not live in a high theft area

Gorilla looks good. Trying to find a way to purchase.

I assume they know the size, but for reference, which size should we be using for our trucks?

*edit, looks like 14mm X 2?
