The 2000 Ford Ranger has ¾-inch hex head lug nuts with ½-inch X20 threads. Each wheel uses 5 lug nuts and features a 5 X 4.5-inch wheel bolt pattern. When changing the lug nuts, hand tighten them all first, then tighten every other one until fully secured and torque them to 100 lb-ft using a high-quality torque wrench. Ensure the tapered end of the lug nut faces the wheel to avoid damaging it, resulting in potential stud breakage and hazardous conditions. It's important to revisit the lug nuts after driving 20 to 30 miles to confirm they remain secure.
The lug nut specifications for the 2000 Ford Ranger are as follows: Thread size of 1/2 inch by 20 threads per inch and a hex size of 3/4 inch.
