Adding TPSM devices for towables.
Have a 2017 F250 & it comes with TPSM for the 4 truck tires. In the menu it lists Trailer TPSM.
I have several towable trailers. Can I add/purchase the TPSM sensors for my trailers?
If yes are OEM parts all that are available and does anyone know the part numbers?
Thanks

If you decide to go with an aftermarket or stand alone kit, be very careful about what you select. Ideally you want "real time" and/or "instant updates" instead of something that checks every few minutes or you need to scroll through the sensors to see what they are reading.
I liked the TPMS in the link below, but have not pulled the trigger on it yet as life is expensive and only getting more expensive these days.

I also have a 22 F350 on order and selected the Customer Placed Trailer Camera w/out Trailer TPMS as well as the 5th wheel prep pkg. Rethinking that decision now. Would I be able to add the OEM Trailer TPMS after the fact? Is it a matter of getting a difference OEM wire harness that does both the Trailer Camera and Trailer TPMS? I beleive the 5th wheel prep will add 7/12 pin connections in the driver side bed and near the rear bumper. Reason I didn't order the OEM Trailer TPMS is I don't have a trailer/RV, but I do tow a large boat and I was unsure whether or not the TPMS sensors are used on boat trailers (e.g submersible in water).

Thank you HRTKD. Feel kinda stupid now for asking the question. I should have realized the TPMS sensors are in the tire. 😀

Ok. So the trailer harness for what you ordered will have at least 1 plug for the camera. Unless someone else can confirm otherwise, you should have 2 more; 1 for the YAW sensor (backup trailer assist) and 1 for the TPMS modlue. So if the harness has 3 plugs, at least 1 will be for the TPMS module. You then just need to purchase the module and TPMS sensors.

I ran the ford tpms set up on my genesis but opted for the Lippert Tire Linc on my new Momentum 5th wheel. Less of a headache, no wiring and gives me tire temps too. So far much better & convenient over the ford system.

Ford TPMS Temperature Data
Can anyone else verify the Ford sensors provide temperature data?
