Lug nut torque

[ronjohn99]

Hi, we own a 2016 Bighorn 3570RS and I am wondering what the torque should be on the lug nuts. It has 16" aluminum wheels.

Hi ronjohn99,

Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum.

The Heartland Trailer Manual that covers Bighorn says: "The wheel nut torque is 120 ft-lbs."

Thank you very much! We are actually heading out to Portland this weekend to pick it up....hopefully there is a manual with it otherwise I will come up with one. I have a torque wrench that goes up to 100 pounds and I was afraid it wouldn't be big enough. I want to have one with me that will do the job so...... off to get a new one!

Found on the forum webpage "Tools" tab, then "Manuals", "Manufacturer Collections",and finally "Lippert Master Towable Manual".
