Lug nut torque specs
Do you torque them? I can't say I do, its too much hassle. I do feel I can approximate the heavy side of 80ft-lbs. Curious what you guys do.
Strangely enough, Discount Tire's website shows 170ft-lbs for the 2wd Toyota truck DRW (<-- ??... as opposed to SRW???). That seems like a lot. The Porsche Carrera GT is whopping 407ft-lbs compared to Ferrari's pathetic sub-100s... and were still talking lug nut torque!

I torque mine with the SR5 4 twin spoke rims to 100 ft lbs. Its a good idea to torque, because if you dont and your unlucky your lugs will loosen! It happened to me, but i discovered it before my wheel fell off thankfully. I used an impact gun that time, now I only use a torque wrench

Last time I looked it up on Alldatapro.com the lug nut torque spec was 75 ft. lbs. for my 4runner. I torque them with the 80 ft. lb torque stick. I've rechecked them with a torque wrench and one of the sticks is pretty accurate. It really depends on how much time I have to put the wheels back on though.

The Porsche GT isn't your average tiptronic-posermobile driven by a business-boy in Gucci sunglasses.

I think its probably the dually, but I don't know. Its consistent with the motor home numbers and many (most?) one tonne duallies were used as motor homes.
