Unfortunately not just Ford, other manufacturers also. Had to change all the lug nuts on my Chevy Blazer because most of those fake covers came off.

Yep. The classic Cherokee suffers from the same idiocy. I did find some one-piece stainless lug nuts for it online, but they wanted 8 bucks per nut. Not per wheel, per nut. That's $160 plus shipping to change them out.

You really don't want stainless anyway. Stainless lug nuts are a great gimmick that may leave you on the side of the road with stripped wheel studs when the unthinkable flat tire happens. Or worse yet, you'll think they're tight, but they're just galled on the threads. If you've never watched one of your wheels leave your car, you're in for a treat.

At one time, WallyWorld had 4 packs of 1-2/20 solid acorn wheel nuts, best price in town. Used them on trailers,one went to east coast and back, zero problems....
two piece ones will rust,expand, warp and a real PITFA to deal with....

I had one of my rear passenger side dual wheels merge into west bound traffic while I was merging into east bound traffic on a toll road in Orlando FL 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Thankfully the tire didn't hit anyone and cause any damage to any vehicles. Boss and I went hunting for the tire after the tow truck picked up my service truck. We found the tire between 1/2 and 3/4 of a mile down, lying on the edge of the road.
