I run an '05 3/4 ton, my dad runs an '11 3/4 ton pick up. Today, a co-worker was showing off his new tires on his '11 Ford 3/4 ton van. His van only has 7 lug bolts ConfusedOuch ??  my 05 has 8 and my dads '11 has 8 ShockedShocked ?? What's the deal ??  Are vans on a different load rating or is Ford making big $$$ on saving a lug bolt/nut per vehicle ??

Probably both. I now vans are available in 1/2, and 3/4 ton versions.
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

YEP... a LIGHT DUTY 3/4 ton... Combination of a 1/2 ton with 3/4 ton axle parts with special hubs/ wheels. .......... only a few years.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Had one of 'them' show up one day...man I counted the nuts several times, thought I needed new glasses.... dang silly..
course ONE of my '67 Mustangs  was 4 bolt, the other 3 were 5 bolts...........
Never ever understood WHY Cavaliers were 5 bolt, seems a waste of material and money...

Six cylinder Mustangs and Falcons had 4 bolts, V8's had 5 bolts, probably enough savings in brake parts to cover having two sizes, but still...

When ferx first came out with that, I had a guy working for me,a dang good little tire man, but his hair was a little thin on top. I walked by him and ask him where the eighth lug but was. He looked around for a while and them counted the bolts. He came over to me and made sure I knew the dang thing only had 7 lug bolts on each hub. I knew that, I was just thinking about him the other day. I havn't seen him since he went to work for Firestone. He was a good worker.

Ahhh - but remember back when there were left and right handed lug nuts on vehicles and rims would not interchange like Buick and Olds because Buick had a alignment stud on the drum which other GM didn't have 
  Now it's offset (depth or rim) that has changed , or like my 73 Olds rims would fit my 65 Olds 442 but the early rims would not fit front of 73 because disc brakes would not fit inside the rim . 
Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

Still remember the adage Righty Tighty Lefty Loosey EXCEPT on Chrysler and American motors, plus most ton and up Trucks lug nuts.

1998 - 1999 they were called "F250 LIGHT DUTY"

2000 - 2008 they were called "F150 - 7700#"

2009-2014 they were called F150 Heavy Duty.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

The "7700" refers to 7700 lbs GVWRating versus 6250 lbs load rating on a std F-150. Heavier axles and brakes on the 7700 lb package.

Question: were you looking at the hub cap or the actual wheels? Because Ford has a hub cap that has seven dummy lug nuts on it that they used on 3/4 trucks and vans?
