Thanks for looking. My dealer's parts guy made a call today and got the part number for the individual sensors. They will be here tomorrow morning. I will post the part number when I get it.
My understanding is that the 2019 kit came with 4 sensors but the 2020 kit comes with 6, but I might be wrong. They are not cheap, $85 each with a discount so if you do find them, it might be good to hang on to them for spares.

Good news. I had to custom modify my sensors to be able to mount them inside my 17.5 RV wheels back in 2017. Hopefully they have salved that issue by now. Let us know how it goes.

My insurance company is replacing all of the wheels. A tech at a Goodyear Commercial dealer torqued the lug nuts to 165 ft/lbs. They were 1/2" studs with aluminum wheel (100 ft/lb max). A stud broke and one wheel came off. I will make sure that the new wheels are compatible. The sensors are supposed fit wheels with a J-type flange wider than 3.5" and a .452" valve stem hole.

Who knows?
These things start production in 3 weeks (supposedly) I'm stunned they are taking so long.

The only reason i can think of is if they have a boat load of 2019's just sitting on the lot.

From what I've read on this forum the 2020 build and price won't be online until mid November.
My salesman called Ford to confirm the order and check on VIN availability the other day. I don't have a VIN yet but he did say Ford is trying to wrap up the last of the 2019 orders before they start on the 2020s. He says it may be possible to get a truck in December by the sounds of what Ford said. I also saw a post on IG where a Ford employee claims 2020 production will start early. I still think January is the safe bet.
All in all it's not much info, if any.

What did you do to make the sensors fit? I have 17.5 wheels on my fifth wheel and I'm sure the Ford sensors are too small. I don't think anything has changed with the 2020's. When I order a 2020 I'm going to order the trailer TPMS sensors as it is just a $50 option which I think includes having the truck info system ready to read them.

You can’t sell 2020 trucks by advertising stale bread.

Tried ordering a Dually platinum silver spruce but was told late availability. Dealership said they talked to their ford rep and he said it’ll be after the first of the year. Told me we could get the order in and it’ll get picked up to hopefully reduce the down time when they start back up painting them. Stopping by this week to finalize the order. Don’t need the truck really until april so while the wait will suck, all the money I’m saving can be spent on tires, lift and armor.

I ordered a F250 Platinum on 9/24 and last week my dealer said I’ll have it by the end of November. Originally he told me don’t expect it until January. Interestingly enough I ordered a new Expedition the same day and he originally thought it would be built first, but it hadn’t even been scheduled yet when I talked to him. Maybe Ford switched scheduled build dates between the super duty’s and the Expeditions/Navigators.
