Here's a picture of where the plug is. It is above the spare tire, right about the middle of the bed, towards the back of the truck. That is the dummy plug my finger is point at. I've already pulled the plug and have it plugged into the 12 pin connector at the rear bumper.
Thanks guys for the photos. Looks like I am SOL on this one......nothing like that coming from the drivers side. I don't even have a retainer clip to hold the harness like edjunior shows in his photo. Kinda weird since my truck was manufactured in August 2020.... I didn't order it though so if I did I would have added the Package 65A for the TPMS only. I'll have to spend the $1,600 for the UTT + another $750 for the camera/TPMS or just $500 for the TPMS next time.
Anybody with the 5th wheel prep also add the bumper 12 pin hookup? I have the 5th wheel prep, and would rather not have to run wires over the tailgate to use the TPMS kit with my bumper pull TT.
camperfanatic01 - I have the 5th whee prep. I also have the TPMS camera kit in a box. I installed the new bumper 7/12 that came with the kit. Fit was perfect. I dont have the RV yet so I havent tested either 12 port plug yet

good to know, I wasn’t sure if the wiring was there to be able to hook both up. Thanks!
The camera kit comes with a 12-pin/7-pin connector to replace the 4-pin/7-pin that is in the bumper. It unsnaps (2 clips on either side of the connector...you can see one of the clips in squirrel's picture), and the new one pops right in. Easy peasy.

It also comes with a 7 pin -> 4 pin adapter, so you have no issues running a 4 pin trailer.
My 2021 F350 has the UTT package. I've been looking at the Ford TPMS and Camera kit but after seeing the caveats with the TPMS sensors and trailer tires I started looking at aftermarket options that appear to be much better providing better quality TPMS and temperature info.
I welcome comments on the aftermarket TPMS/temperature units and the above plug-and-play trailer camera that uses the 8" screen display in my F350. Thanks in advance!
For me the driving factor to add the factory TPMS was dash real estate. I didn't want another display and power cord to deal with as I will have my iphone, Garmin RV1090 (10" display) and the Furion camera kit that came with the RV. I can add more wireless marker cameras to that system. I actually ordered the trailer TPMS only LC3Z1A189E it came with the camera anyway. Not sure I will even use it.

I understand about another display and power cord and I’d like to use what I paid for but the factory TPMS has caveats re: tire composition and valves, right? And the kit doesn’t provide tire temps so those factors are leading me away from the Ford kit.
Anyone use the aftermarket camera that plugs into the truck?
For $50 at the time of Truck Order, I couldn't go wrong with the trailer tire TPMS kit only. One sensor alone is $57 through RockAuto. I figure if I want to upgrade to TPMSs compatible with my Class A coach, they have the sensors that screw on to the valve assembly. I could have the best of both worlds...
I finally got my Ford Aux Camera and TPMS kit and, from my experience: * Ford promotes Super Duty towing but IMO, does a ****-poor job of providing information about the options they sell including differences between the kits, what comes with them and any info about installation * Ford parts people and dealership people have little to no useful information about these kits
I had to walk my parts guy through the options referring him to Ford websites which are woefully inadequate. He told me it would come with the Yaw Sensor which I came with my F350 which has the UTT package. I knew it didn't but wouldn't have complained if it did. Of course he was wrong.
FYI: This weekend I read through the photocopied lousy instructions from Ford that came with the kit and found out that I'd have to replace the bumper mounted plug unit (1 plug unit has both trailer plugs in it) with the one supplied in the kit. It would have been good to know this and know that the kit replaces that plug's flat 5 pin trailer connector with the Camera Plug connector (in the lower position). And the kit comes with a 7-pin-to-5-pin adapter should you need to plug in a trailer with a flat, 5-pin plug.
By the way, if you have the Yaw Sensor and actually want to use it for the "Pro Trailer Backup Assist", you'll have 3 cables connected: (1) trailer lighting, (2) Yaw Sensor cable for Pro Trailer Backup Assist (those 2 go into the plugs inside the bed), and (3) the Camera cable that plugs into the new replacement plug in the bumper). <-- This is incorrect (see below for correct info)
Note that it's the -A (dash A) suffix Part Number designed for trucks that have the Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
So the kit comes with all the items shown/listed above including the 7/12 plug that replaces the 7/4 plug in the bumper. And it also comes with the 7-to-4 plug adapter since the 4 pin plug in the bumper can be replaced by the 7/12 plug.
The good news for me is that the 7/12 plug in the rear driver's side bed wall will work with the Aux Camera/TPMS kit which means I don't need to replace the plug in my bumper.
My truck came with the YAW Sensor kit which plugs into the lower plug in the bedside, the 12 pin plug. The upper 7 pin plug is where my 5th wheel trailer lights plug goes.
So the harness that comes with the -A Aux Camera/TPMS kit also has an extra plug for the YAW Sensor so I can plug the Camera/TPMS plug into the lower 12 pin plug and I won't use the dedicated YAW Sensor plug since the new Camera/TPMS harness has a plug for it. Therefore the connections will be the same: 2 plugs/cables - the 7 pin (upper) for the trailer lights and the lower 12 pin for the Aux Camera/TPMS/YAW Sensor all-in-one harness.
I feel lucky that I bought the right Aux Camera/TPMS kit since Ford makes all this about as clear as mud and the dealers' parts guys know less than we do for the most part.
Here's the pic of the driver's side bed-mounted 7/12 plug (photo courtesy of @ZooDad ):
This means that I have the brand new bumper mount 7/12 replacement plug and the 7-pin-to-4-pin-adapter plug as extras (as shown in my previous post's pic above).
