For me there's still a nagging question regarding the Ford TPMS working with my 5th wheel trailer's tires because Ford says:
Notes: Only install the Trailer TPMS sensors on J-type flange wheels with a width greater than 3.5 in (88.9 mm).
The Trailer TPMS sensors are only compatible on wheels with 0.452 in (11.48 mm) diameter valve stem hole.
The Trailer TPMS valves should not be installed for tube-type tire setups.
The Trailer TPMS sensors should only be used with tires rated for 125 PSI (861 kPa) or less cold inflation pressure.
The Trailer TPMS sensors cannot be used on steel carcass (belted) tires.

From the beginning I've been wondering how they can sell this kit because how many tires these days don't have steel belts? I assume it can't be many so, what's the story here?!
The tires on my 5th wheel are Sailun ST235/80R16G (ST apparently is for steel).
But I have high hopes of the Ford sensors working (although there's another issue and that's with the stems as they may not fit). Both the sensors working with these tires and the stems are addressed in this very informative thread: https://www.mygrandrv.com/forum/show...Solitude-344GK
The 3rd post in the above thread says this about stem size and an option for buying the right ones which may be applicable:
I used the Ford trailer TPMS system on my 2019 F-350 and 2019 Solitude 373FB-R. The system worked great.
I did need to buy the larger .625" valve stems for the trailer wheels as the Ford .452" stems that come with the kit are too small. You can get the larger valve stems here: https://nicholsmanufacturingandweldi...625-valve-stem
As for the steel belted tires - I had Sailun S637 all steel tires on the Solitude and the sensors worked fine. I haven't heard reports from anybody on any of the forums I belong to that had problems with the Ford TPMS sensors and steel carcass tires.
It's a long shot, but does anyone know where I can get the pin terminals in the 12-pin trailer side connector (or have an extra trailer harness they want to sell)? I'm trying to add an additional trailer camera and there are three unused pins on the 12-pin connector. Truck side has all sockets populated, and I can get the crimp sockets for the Molex connector on the back of the 7/12 trailer connector so the truck side is good. It looks like the trailer connector is a custom Ford part and I can't find the crimp pins anywhere.
I've got these components for sale if they'll help you?

Hey MagicMtnDan. I am interested in buying your HU5T-14A624-CB but I'm still trying to figure out how best to communicate in this dang site. How can we connect up?
I have used this set up for the last year and love it. Unfortunately, the cable got snagged and all seven pins were pulled out of the connector. Now I need to know by wire-color which wire goes to which pin number. Can anyone help? Thanks.

2021 Camera, TPMS, Pro Backup Assist on a Bumper Pull
So the dealership is no help. I have a 2021 F350 Lariat Sport with UTT and 5th Wheel Prep. I see the 2021 F150 has the yaw sensor mounted on the travel trailer frame. I want to be able to use all three systems on my travel trailer (HQ19) with one wire from the bumper. I have the LC3T14G621AD pro assist harness and yaw sensor that came from the factory. I have ordered the LC3Z1A189A camera, tpms kit. How/Can I get all of these to work together? By replacing the bumper 7/4 pin with the 12/7 pin? Are the directions with the camera, tpms kit pretty clear? I have searched but don’t see the answer.
Do you know which pins are the + and - inputs for the camera power? Are they the pin 1 + and pin 6 -? I have a '22 F350 Lariat. I don't have UTT and I'm attempting to add a trailer camera by "splicing" into the tailgate camera circuit and using a trailer camera kit. If anyone might have a pin-out for the 6 pin molex connector for the tailgate camera, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help I can get.

I see these kits are finally available again.
Got a question - plan to do only the TPMS on my Airstream. I'm guessing you. would mount the TPMS transmitter for the trailer near the hitch?
Not sure I really need the camera as the Airstream came with a camera, which I seldom use.
I have the Ultimate Trailer Camera setup.
TPMS transmitter gets mounted as close to the trailer axles as possible. There is approx 20 feet of cable from the connection at the hitch to the transmitter box.
