I'm about to buy a 2004 f150. It has the heavy duty payload package or whatever its called, but I didnt think to look at the lug pattern on the wheels. does this mean it has the 7 lug wheels? If so, how hard is it to find aftermarket wheels for this pattern?

 

i thinks thats what it means but go outside and check.

 

I could be wrong but having the towing package does not change the wheels on the truck, they should be the same, many f150s come with the upgraded towing package but the ones ive seen have had the same wheels.

 

ok... well i got the truck, and it has the 7 lug wheels, and i found out that the heavy duty payload package includes the wheels. the heavy duty payload package is differant and seperate from the towing package by the way.

 

why would ford go with a 7-lug pattern?
