If the back of my 5th wheel goes 3' underwater, I will have other problems that will probably be a lot worse though.
Good luck!

Is anybody else waiting for the 2020 trailer camera/TPMS kit? I'm kind of tired of waiting. The Ford parts departments don't seem to know anything about it. I'm tempted to just buy the "old" kit and modify the wire loom like others here have done. The only reason I'm hesitant is I wouldn't want to miss out if they've made any improvements to the camera or TPMS module on the new kit.

Yeah, I sent the new part number to two Ford dealers and they both said that part isn't in their system. I'm just going to get the old kit and re-do the harness. I already ordered the larger valve stems from Nichols.

Help!!!!!
I have a 2020 F-350 with the ultimate camera kit, 5th wheel prep, etc. I did NOT order the 2020 trailer/TPMS kit with the truck. I DID order a 2017-2019 trailer camera/TPMS kit from a guy on eBay. It was in a sealed box. I also ordered the larger valve stems from Nichols and had them and the TPMS sensors installed in the trailer tires today. I then plugged the TPMS module into the harness and plugged the harness into the truck. So far so good. I did the same thing with my 2019 F-350 which also did not come with the trailer TPMS camera kit. I had to order that separately.
I then turned on the ignition expecting to see the trailer TPMS setup screen like I did with my 2019. NOPE. Nothing. Started the truck. Nothing. Unplugged and replugged in all the connectors. Nothing. Let air out of the trailer tires, rechecked everything ten more times. Started and stopped the truck over and over. Nothing.
So my truck isn't recognizing the TPMS module (the camera does work though FWIW). I thought others here had successfully used a 2017-19 TPMS module in their 2020 truck. What am I missing? I heard a few comments about the dealer needing to update the truck so it recognizes the TPMS module but I didn't have to do this with my 2019 so I don't know if this is true.
Any help would be seriously appreciated. I'm a desperate man...

Did you try the trailer menu to look for the setup as opposed to it starting that process on its own?

I did look through the menu but didn't see anything about setting up trailer TPMS. I'm not saying it isn't there. I just didn't see it.

That’s some good info about the as built data. I need to order a second tpms and camera for my bumper pull.

So after a few emails with my Ordering Manager, Ford ended-up sending him two more TPMS units based on the documentation found throughout this thread (Ordering Guide Snippets). He said though Ford might be changing / updating this back to four total units. So some of us got lucky in getting six with persistence.

Mine is missing "Trailer Tire Pressure". I looked at the FORscan spreadsheet and couldn't find anything that looked like this was something I could enable. My next step will be to call my Ford dealer to try to get the menu enabled. I suspect they will have no idea what I'm talking about.

I was browsing the brochure and saw trailer TPMS on all trims except the XT. I have an XT, the ultimate trailer package and 5th wheel prep. I assumed I would have trailer TPMS. Before I go aftermarket, I want to exhaust all options to have trailer tire pressure In the information display. Any XT owners have Trailer TPMS in the information display?
