2021 F150 Platinum
I would like to get a wheel lock set for my 2021 Platinum.
I had to dig a bit to find the specs of the lug nuts because it's relatively easy to find contradictory specs.
To my understanding, so far, the lug nuts are short 14 x 1.5.

When I look on the web for chrome, cone seat, closed end 14 x 1.5 wheel locks, I can only find ones are almost twice as long,
just like the ones in the attached McGard sample photo.
It just won't do as it obviously looks horrible... just like a sore thumb sticking out.

Am I looking for something that doesn't exist or do I have specs wrong?
By any chance, has somebody found a set with the right specs and that looks decent enough?
Any help, make, model or links would be appreciated?
Thanks in advance.

Those work wonders and match your factory lugs so look under the radar, I used them on all 3 of my 2021 Trucks

Thanks for the link. I looked it up, and as "Jersey Glock" points out below, Amazon says it doesn't fit a 2021 F150 Platinum.

Looks like Amazon is wrong. The measurements are correct.

But, hit the link that says something like ... show similar items that do fit.

Did anyone get optional factory Wheel Lock Kit-Exposed when they ordered their F150? If you did, would you post a photo?
The photo on ford.com looks like they are long and might not match the other lug nuts. I saved the image but am not able to post it. Found it from "Build & Price" tool.
Thanks,
Ed

Here is what my Ford locks look like, its the top one in the 12 o'clock position. The end of the cap is smooth like the others, most of those aftermarkets have the pattern on the end for the key and sure stand out

I would replace all the factory lug nuts, With Gorilla solid nuts. The chrome part on the factory nuts is just a tin cover that eventually starts to crack.

Are you certain that your lug nuts were factory installed, or could they be dealer installed? This is a screen shot from ford.com with their Wheel Lock Kit @ $70. It looks like the McGard 24215 that has the pattern on the top. The Gorilla 9664DX is smooth on top and looks very similar to the OEM lug nuts. Attached photos show each installed, plus top and side views of the McGard, Gorilla and OEM lug nuts side by side. McGard made in USA and Gorilla made in Taiwan.

Yes mine are factory, not dealer installed. If you look at the McGard the keyed part comes way up the shaft, mine is only keyed at the very bottom
