In 2012 I bought a new Ford F-150 XLT. I was never able to find proper fitting locking wheel lug nuts for it. It appears that my 2023 Maverick has these same type lug nuts. They are the bulge acorn style. Ford's answer to this is to sell you locking lug nuts that are longer than the OE lug nuts, and they stick out like a sore thumb. Has anyone found any locking wheel lug nuts that are the same length as the OE lug nuts on the Maverick?

These are the same length, but are a narrower diameter. They do not stick out like a sore thimb like the oem's do.

Here is the correct part number:
DPAccessories LCB3L8HC-CH04LK4 Chrome Wheel Locks 14x1.5 Closed End Bulge Acorn 19mm & 13/16" Locking Lug Nuts
According to Amazon, these are supposed to fit the Maverick. I will give them a try. Thank you.

And if you don't like that they are narrower, you can send them back. I had the oem's, but they are ridiculously long. I returned them, and have these on now. Not 100% thrilled, but way better than oem.

My truck is still at the dealer, but I've been acquiring M14x1.5 60-degree lug nuts to experiment with. Just got the Gorilla # 71641N's a couple of days ago. I believe the OEM replacement I got from O'Rielly's is pretty close to the Ford OEM 2-piece version.

DPAccessories LCB3L8HC-CH04LK4 Chrome Wheel Locks 14x1.5 Closed End Bulge Acorn 19mm & 13/16" Locking Lug Nuts. I ordered these, but I was concerned that they are narrower than the OE lug nuts, and that the beveled contact surface is half of what the OE lug nuts have. I sent them back.
