Factory specs for torque on the lugnuts on my truck is 150#.
I have started to carry a socket and a long breaker bar as I doubt I
could get a wheel off using the wrench that came with the truck.

I've found that the use of torque wrenches is over blown. If you rattlegun the
lugnut down to 150#, the torque wrench will click over at 80# no problem.
I once had to take my car back to a tire retailer because I couldn't get the
lugs off no matter what.
Which reminds me, at camp last week I sharpened the blades on the bush hog. This is a 6
foot brush mower. The blades are held on by 1 1/8" carriage bolts. To get them off I
use my 3/4" ratchet with a 5 foot cheater bar... Takes a lot of force...
