I have a 2017 ram 1500 4 wheel drive with 20 inch rims. Does any one know what the lug nut torque for these are? Thanks.

130 is correct. Be sure to re torque after you've driven a bit. I learned the hard way why you do this when my wheel passed me on the highway.

That sucks. Good advice though. I torque mine drive few miles then do it again and usually get movement out of quite a few of them.

Felt a wobble, but there was nowhere safe to pull over so I kept driving looking for a pull out. Felt the back wheel drop down and thought I had a flat and was wondering why my tpms hadn't warned me when I looked to the left and watched my wheel pass me. Luckily it didn't hit anybody or thing and it came out of the wheel well without tearing up the wheel well, but it wasn't a lot of fun searching for it in the bushes in the dark and in a lot of snow or pulling the axle to put in new wheel studs.

What are you talking about?
A joke gone bad. I didn't realize there were actually 716 pages in the manual, and thought you were being sarcastic. Of course the settings quoted are good! ;)

Yep. That is a seriously long manual. The one for my 2014 is 802 pages long. This is not the same one that comes in the packet with the truck.

If you are the first registered owner of the vehicle you can get the complimentary paper expanded owner's manual, Navigation/Uconnect manual, and warranty booklet by calling:

US - 1-866-726-4636
Canada - 1-800-387-1143

Been there, done that in 1978. Got the '72 Camaro T-shirt. Running N50x15s on NEW 10" Cragar SS rims. Had 5" moulded metal fender flares. All nuts exited stage left, tire cam off but got trapped in wheel well. Felt like the rear was coming apart (again). Oh yeah, I was next to concrete barrier going down US 22W. Very humbling. ALWAYS re check lug nuts.

Not 1st, 2nd or 3rd? No Trophy!
