A note about lug nuts for new members
To those who are picking up their brand new Escapes, pay attention to the lug nut torque recommendations from ETI. I checked torque at the recommended intervals and found a couple of slightly loose nuts each time. As a matter of fact, the two subsequent mornings after the recommended mileage, I checked and found a loose nut each morning.
So here is the the interesting thing. Our Escape has steel wheels. Our Rpod had aluminum wheels and we never experienced a loose nut ever. Even when it was first new. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but I will continue my practice of torquing the wheel nuts frequently.
Check those nuts often. Safe travels.
