If you are wanting Lock Lugs.....

Here is what Gorilla specifies for our Rangers Gorilla Guard II Wheel Locks

None of the above.

Those are just wheel locks. I thought that typically most people run one wheel lock per wheel and regular lug nuts on the other studs. Based on the specs of what you posted, what I posted is dimensionally correct (12mm x 1.50 with 60° shoulder).

You are correct. My bad.

I changed the wording of my post while you were researching

Awesome! I was second guessing my numbers! Thank you!

I'd suggest you email them, that's what I did, just to be sure.

I believe so, but can only confirm the factory lugs on my Lariat with Tremor package are 3/4".

Yes, all factory are 3/4 hex size.

I attached a photo of one of my gorilla nuts. It’s the bulge type listed earlier in this thread. You can see clearly that these use the entire 60 degree seat in the mag.

Right John, I called Gorilla and they confirmed this number was right for the Ranger because Amazon's menu said it wasn't. My are the ones that spin if someone tries to put a socket on them. But I noticed yours has an "N" at the end of the number and mine doesn't. Any idea what that means?

I haven't a clue what the N stands for?

Here's a list of all that will work on our Ranger..... per an email I got from Gorilla

Here is the reply from Gorilla...

For your 2019 Ford Ranger with factory alloy wheels here are the wheel lock sets we recommend:

Thanks John,
I will call Gorilla and find out what it means then let you know

Hello John,
Found out the difference between the two sets. The key slides over the outside of the lock nut on the 61631N (earlier version) http://www.gorilla-auto.com/gorilla-guard-locks-page-02 /The key slides inside of the lock nut which is recessed on the 61631 (later version) http://www.gorilla-auto.com/gorilla-guard-locks. I'm planning to get a 1/2 drive Breaker Bar with a 13/16 deep impact socket for the Gorilla lock nuts and a 3/4 deep impact socket for the standard log nuts. Will keep these in the Truck just in case I get caught out in a situation where roadside assistance is not available. Harbor Freight has the best prices and good ratings on these items. I am comfortable with this as these will be used only rarely if at all. Do you keep a set of these in your Truck ? Also will be getting an extra Gorilla key to keep at home for a spare

Thanks Adam,
The lug nuts on my Truck are Chrome so I wanted the Chrome Gorilla locks to match. Haven't installed the locks yet

Thanks for doing the research...

I keep the Gorilla Key Socket for the lock lugs in it's original packaging, along with the 4 stock lug nuts, place it in a zip lock bag, and place it in the storage compartment where the jack is.

Another thing.... Do you have a torque wrench? You should be using one to torque the lugs. The specification is 100 ft-lbs.
