    Because apparently the people at Auto Zone did not know the lug nut size for a Ford Maverick.

    Plus, in my opinion, Auto Zone sells junk. Unless it has a recognized name brand...I don't buy it there.

    "They" only know what's in the 'puter. if they don't have a listing for a Ford Maverick lug nut.......:huh:
    when you go to a place like that, "they" expect you to tell them what you want...1/2" X 20 lugnut... you wouldn't go in and ask..."what cam do I need for a .030 over 302 Ford"...:rofl2:

    If I walk in to my local NAPA, or even Advance Auto...somebody there will know what size lug nut goes on a Maverick. Just a difference in who they hire and how much they train I suppose....and maybe a better computer. :D
