TPMS sensors for Trailer

[Jprovance1]

Hello everyone I'm coming from a 2020 GMC Denali, GMC has an option in their trailer screen for TPMS sensors for the trailer. I'm finding conflicting information that Ford has this or doesn't have this. Does anyone know if our trucks have these capabilities and if so can you direct me to where I can get these? Ford parts doesn't seem to know much about these trucks yet.

Thanks

and the posts preceding it. I do NOT believe that the '21 F150's that folks have taken delivery of are pre-wired to plug in the "Customer added TPMS and Trailer Camera" systems that we were told would be available. The proprietary round plug under the 7-pin trailer plug carries all the pins for the yaw sensor, trailer camera, and trailer TPMS. However, if you look at the pictures from our trucks, ONLY the yaw sensor wires are populated.

I am still waiting for a current gen Superduty owner that has the "Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System" package to provide a picture of the backside (truck side) of the round connector. I strongly suspect it has all the wires populated, and not just 2. And if that is correct, I don't care what the documentation says, there is NO WAY the TPMS or Camera can connect to the Sync head unit.

I agree

I agree

I already have my own aftermarket trailer TPMS and don't plan to add the camera. But I do feel bad for those that bought the 360 cameras and intended to get the trailer camera. It simply is not going to work unless they do some rewiring. I would be very angry as a customer that planned to use it. Hell, they might even need a Sync update to even talk to the cameras too! After all, we don't even have the damn sticker "update" that was promised.

Which one do you have?

I got this bad boy from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZZ2RCX7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My previous one was sketchy reception from my tires to my cab. It would be out of BLE (bluetooth low energy) range more often than not, which made it effectively useless unless it was on the car you were driving.

So I got this one, specifically to have a signal repeater to cover the trailer distance. I installed the repeater inside my battery box at the hitch, and installed a toggle switch so it won't drain my battery during storage. Works like a champ. My ONLY complaint is that it does not show pressure and temp all on one screen, and you can't make it continuously toggle. You have to press a button to see temps temporarily before display goes back to pressure. ANNOYING! But I suppose the TPMS built into the Ford cluster you would have to go see your temps with buttons anyway. I'll live.

My recently sold 2019 Silverado came with four TPMS sensors to install in a trailer and they synced back to the infotainment system. I am surprised Ford doesn't do the same.

Has anyone heard anything else on this ?

Subscribed! I installed my trailer tire pressure harness and the truck doesn’t recognize the tire pressure of the trailers , has anyone gone through the set up
