I live in Florida and will almost never drive with windows open. Other than allowing you to crack the windows when parked, do these provide any other benefit?
You can build for a lease. If you go to the Build & Price tool on Ford.com you can send your build to a dealer.
The tool can be flaky, though. Ford's order guide (available on this site here) is the authoritative source of options and combinations. I would try the order guide then confirm that...
Chips may be their primary concern but, considering how sensitive manufacturers are to any cost at all, they'll save additional money on the rest of it. The wires and housing aren't free.
That makes sense to me. I'm guessing the vast majority of owners don't use even the stickers. For Ford to ship a yaw sensor with every truck would be a huge waste of money on their part.
That mirrors my experience with Pro Backup in my 2016 Lariat using stickers. It worked if I turned one direction but lost site of the sticker if I turned the other direction. And, even when the sticker was in view, it sometimes lost it. I gave up on it shortly after the first time I tried it...
I concur that there is no value in the yaw sensor for that purpose. You could buy a 17-22 camera/TPMS kit on ebay at a discount and it would serve the purpose if the F150 12-pin socket is wired for those functions.
Note that some TPMS/camera kits sold on ebay don't actually have both. Read the...
I'm not worried. I have no plans to modify the suspension.
There has to be a way for dealers to calibrate it. What happens if the truck's in a wreck or one of the shock absorbers goes bad? They have to replace parts. I suspect it may involve adding known amounts of weight to the bed. They could...
The disclaimer stated there were other, compatible, kits. I could not find them among the list I was looking at. I think the versions they sell now, i.e., TPMS, camera, or TPMS AND camera, all will be available with the plug for the yaw harness.
Those should be backwards compatible with older...
I ordered it. It seems to me it would be hard (or very expensive) to retrofit. It also seems like it might not be a good idea to add any after-market suspension parts.
Descriptions of similar harnesses for SuperDuties has a disclaimer about not being compatible with 21-22, because they lack the connector for the yaw sensor. I surmise that they're all exactly the same except that yaw sensor connector.
Can you compare your 9 pins to the picture in the message linked below to determine which pins are missing from the picture? It's the plug from a SuperDuty camera harness which lacks the yaw sensor.

The fact that it may include temps is great. The cost, including installing the sensors, is not so great.
Edit: beware that replies in the topic linked above indicate that temps are available only with 2022+ sensors. Older sensors don't have that (so they said) so consider that if buying a kit...
My TST TPMS monitor is actually small, a little bigger than a pack of cards. It sits in the well at the top of the dash. It's not in the way, costs me nothing additional and has more features. I'd rather not have another "thing" to deal with but the benefits of what I have outweighs the costs...
My TST TPMS monitors and displays temps continuously. It cycles continuously through each wheel. It's useful because you can see if one tire is consistently different than other wheels. On crappy OEM trailer tires, elevated temps may be caused by tread or belt failures and may foretell a...
Other than tire pressure, does the TPMS monitor temp? And can you set the alert levels? On my TST TPMS, you can do both. I'd like to have fewer devices to have to manage but don't want to give up much in functionality. BTW, a few of the MOV files are duplicated.
I don't have 360 cameras now so...
