My GY's rated to 110 get to over 125 when hot. Never an issue with the Ford system.

I suspect that what Ford is saying is that the cold PSI can't be over 125 with the expectation that the hot PSI will be over 125.

How much over 125 if I might ask? I'm expecting close to 140 - 145 psig with my cold tire pressure of 123 psig

I agree Jim. 125 is the highest set point but there is no high limit. If you can set it to 125 then they can handle warm tire pressure rise to higher temps. Mine have gotten close to 130 at times but I'm certain 140-145 will not be an issue. They know that 125 will go up to that level when hot and if the sensors couldn't handle it, they wouldn't allow the 125 cold setting.

That makes sense thank you. I wasn't aware that the 125 was cold set or the maximum the sensor or system would read.

May I inquire as to what wheels you have on your rig? I have also ordered 6 stems from Nichols as I'm trying to get ready for our new DRV when we get it. That won't be until June it sounds like but I want to have everything on hand when it shows up. I was concerned about thread length on their stems based on the photo on the web site. I exchanged emails with Scott at HiSpec wheel who supplies the 17.5 wheels to DRV and he told me the thickness at the stem hole is 7 mm. The wheel is their series 03.

Nichols sent me a number of photos showing the actual thread length on their stems and it looks like they should work. I won't know for sure until our rig is delivered. You don't happen to have the same wheels do you?

I have a 40' GN horse trailer with a total of four cameras (three inside and one for back-up) with a stand-alone monitor in the cab. Everything is wired. Has anyone found a way/hack to utilize the 2017/2018 SuperDuty monitor to display more than the back-up camera? Ideally I'd like to toggle between the four trailer cameras when traveling down the road and thus eliminate the need for, and footprint taken up by, a stand-alone monitor.

Thanks.

Thanks Jeff

It looks like Nichols Manufacturing has done it again with a unique product. They now have a setup for trucks that DO NOT have the 360 camera system or Ultimate Trailer Tow package. They have a switching harness that allows you to run the Ford trailer camera system without the truck being wired for it. The switch switches from the tailgate cam that all trucks have to the trailer camera. What a GREAT idea.

I wish the ultimate package already did that. If I'm hooked up to the trailer with a camera on it, why would I ever want to see the view from the tailgate camera?

I could see someone who is OCD about the status of the coupler lock lever wanting to look at the coupler without having to get out of the vehicle. I dunno, you asked a rhetorical question and I'm good at coming up with rhetorical answers.
