Honestly, considering the cost of tires (and wheels) nowadays, lug locks should come as standard equipment on all vehicles. That fifth wheel hanging on the gate just screams “Come steal me!”
At least the factory set comes with five wheel locks, taking the spare into account. That said, wheel locks don’t prevent thievery, but it does slow down the thieves a little.
Chris here. I drive a 2-door Velocity Blue 2023 Ford Bronco Badlands with Sasquatch, Lux, a 2.7L V6, and an automatic transmission. It’s fun.
