What owners wrote
2018 f-150 ford super cab pick up. I had heard about swollen lug nuts and when I tried my lug nut wrench that came with vehicle, it would not fit. The issue is ford uses a 2 piece lug nut and overtime they swell causing the outer layer to swell and that is why the vehicle lug nut wrench will not fit. I checked with the selling dealership and they said it is a rea deal. I asked if they had replacement nuts that are not oem 2 piece nuts. I was told yes but I will not sell them because I would have the same issue.
I purchased a new 2018 f-150 platinum with hankook dynapro htm 275/55/20 tires. At 5,000 miles the rear driver tire developed a bulge in the sidewall approximately 3 inches long and 3/4 inch wide from center of sidewall to the tread. At 7,500 miles a similar bulge developed in the front driver tire. Frontier ford in santa clara, ca service department told me to call hankook and hankook told me it was the dealers responsibility to warranty the tire.
