Each of those books covers gas, Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid in one volume (the 2020 file is titled 'Gas-HEV-PHEV') and has a single wheel-nut table with no powertrain, wheel-material or spare variant, so Hybrid/PHEV torque is the same. Ford: retighten within 100 mi (160 km) after any wheel disturbance; specs are for clean, rust-free threads.
