First half-ton truck, first Ford...so I'd welcome a bit of coaching on these simple Q's:
1. Is the lug nut dim for the F150 a 7/8" socket? One of a few I don't seem to have.
2. The spare is mounted 'upside down' WRT air valve access. Can it be reversed, like I can do with my trailer's spare? I'd like to add a TPMS sensor on the spare and make the valve stem more readily available for topping up.
3. I always have the tires rotated with regular service visits...but the spare is always left out of the process by the shop. Too much hassle. What's the thinking about putting the spare into the rotation sequence, benefitting from ~20% more service life from the stock set of tires? Or more hassle and expense than is warranted?

What a great way this has been to be introduced to a half-ton truck! My first drive in this new Lariat lasted for 1400 miles, most of it in obnoxious weather conditions. I enjoyed every mile.
