I brought the 235S out today, and checked torque all around getting ready for a trip tomorrow: 100#/lbs, jut right.
Recently tried to torque the lug nuts on my 2022 235S. Found two were stripped at the factory, likely because an impact wrench was used. Replaced the and torqued to 100 ft./lbs. Ready for my trip next week.
Lug nut torque is based on the size of the bolts. 90 - 100 is pretty standard for these lugs.
Without a torque wrench you're guessing. Harbor Freight has them on sale every week. Loosen the wrench between uses. You don't need Snap-On but they work too.
New trailers in my experience have loose lug nuts as they loosen from road motion on their trip from the factory as the lugs stretch. Recommend torquing before towing and at every rest area until they stop loosening. Then every other. Finally just once in the morning. I lost several lug bolts several years -- wheel was wobbling but stayed on! -- so I'm overly cautious about this. Overkill always works.
