Has anyone ever noticed that ford hubcaps only have 7 lugnuts on them? Hmph... Just saw one, and counted 10 times haha. Thought it was funny

I have noticed that too, just a styling thing, take the caps off and theres 6/8 lug nuts underneath

i think the ford engineers dont know how to count along with not knowing how to build a truck.

Some Ford F250's have 7 Lug Wheels/Rims. Take caps off & count again.

'99-'01. Somewhere in that area.

We have a few at work.

The LD 250, looks like the 150, used 7 lugs. None of the Superduty's use it.

I guess it's a universal hubcap for their 16" wheels then. We build 4x4 ford and gm vans where I work. It was parked near where I take break, and I started staring, trying to figure it out. I took the hubcap off, and it was an 8-lug axle. I think vans are only 2500 and 3500, no light or heavy duty.

Vans would be E-150, E-250, E-350 etc., 150 being LD ½ton, the rest being HD.
