It varies by trim and wheel size, 6 factory fitments exist, from 245/70R17 up. Check the placard on the driver's door jamb for the size your specific vehicle left the factory with. ### What is the bolt pattern on a Ford F-150? 6x135. That is the figure you need when shopping for aftermarket wheels; centre bore and offset still have to match separately. ### What should the tire pressure be on a Ford F-150? 35 PSI front and rear, measured cold. The number moulded into the tire sidewall is the tire's maximum, not the vehicle's recommendation. Do not inflate to it. ### What is the lug nut torque for a Ford F-150? 150 lb-ft, tightened in a star pattern with a torque wrench. Impact guns routinely overshoot this by 100 lb-ft or more, which warps rotors and stretches studs. ### Does the Ford F-150 come with a spare tire? Full-size spare under the bed; PowerBoost's HV battery slightly repackages the spare winch. ## Sources - [2022 Ford F-150 Owner's Manual (Ford service content), capacities and specifications](https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/Catalog/owner_information/2022-Ford-F-150-Owners-Manual-version-1_om_EN-US_10_2021.pdf) - [F150gen14 forum, 2021 5.0L 5W-30 / 7.7-qt sump change discussion (owner's manual excerpts)](https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/2021-v8-oil-capacity.4358/) - [NHTSA recall 24V-635 chronology, 2.7L/3.0L EcoBoost intake valves](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RMISC-24V635-2546.pdf) - [Astro Ford / NHTSA, F-150 recall hub (driveshaft, trailer brake, axle, EBB campaigns)](https://www.astroford.com/recalls/ford-f-150-recalls.htm) - [Car and Driver, Ford EcoBoost intake-valve engine failure recall](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a62044486/ford-f150-bronco-explorer-edge-lincoln-nautilus-aviator-engine-failure-recall/) - [fueleconomy.gov, 2023 Ford F-150 EPA ratings](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2023_Ford_F150.shtml) - [Wheel-Size.com, 2022 Ford F-150 OE fitments](https://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/f-150/2022/) - [Cars.com, 2021 F-150 towing capacities breakdown (14,000-lb max)](https://www.cars.com/articles/breaking-down-the-2021-ford-f-150s-towing-capacities-433112/) - [Motorcraft, MERCON ULV automatic transmission fluid (10R80)](https://www.motorcraft.com/us/en_us/home/our-products/chemicals-and-lubricants/transmission-fluid/mercon-ulv-automatic-transmission-fluids.html/100) ## Find your exact F-150 - [2025](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2025) - [2024](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2024) - [2023](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2023) - [2022](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2022) - [2021](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2021) - [2020](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2020) - [2019](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2019) - [2018](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2018) - [2017](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2017) - [2016](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2016) - [2015](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2015) - [2014](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2014) - [2013](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2013) - [2012](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/2012) More Ford F-150 guides: - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/oil) - [Battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/battery) - [Wiper blades](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/wipers) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/filters) - [Bulbs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/bulbs) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
