I'm interested in installing the Ford parts TPMS so it shows the trailer tire pressures on my dash and I don't have to have another monitor plugged in and laying around. When i looked up Ford parts trailer TPMS I got this $650 kit with wiring, module and other stuff. I assumed all I needed was the sensors for the trailer. Am I incorrect?

Correct, you are incorrect, LOL.
The sensors in the tires send a wireless signal to a receiver box mounted on the trailer. The receiver box is hard wired to your truck via a cord that plugs into the bed or bumper. That'll get you the info on your screen behind the steering wheel. In my case, I get pressure and temperature.
Part of the kit includes a new outlet assembly on the bumper that includes both the 7-pin and the new 12-pin outlets. There are variations of the kit that gives you the same set of outlets but in the bed.
You can use just about any TPMS sensor that broadcasts in the right MHz, but you'll need the Ford receiver.
Some kits have both the camera and the TPMS items. There are enough questions about which kit is which that it's pretty easy to conclude that Ford didn't make this easy to figure out which kit to buy.
Depends on what your truck currently has on the bumper. If you have the 12 pin connector next to the 7 pin trailer socket, then your truck is ready to accept a trailer camera and/or TPMS.
From there you will need a base wiring harness, of which there are two types. One for just the trailer camera and TPMS, and another one that feeds those as well as a trailer steering system via **** on your dash. I forget their exact name for that system.
Anyway, you will need the kit with that harness, plus the kit with the TPMS amplifier and wheel sensors. And once you've gone that far, might as well get the trailer camera too since it plugs into the same base harness. It all works very well IMO.
Can't help you with part numbers without knowing how your truck is currently equipped.
Thank y'all for your coments, I decided to get a stand alone system. I don't really like a separate piece of equipment to monitor in th etruck but it is $200 cheaper

I don't get the temp readings. Any idea what could be wrong?
I vaguely recall that the temps started with the '23 model year. But maybe there is a new part number for the receiver for '23 that passes the temperature values to the truck?

It looks like you have a 22 Lariat with the Ultimate package and I have a 22 Lariat with the value package so I'm not sure why it would be missing on yours. I did buy the TPMS & Camera Kit with mine, and I also ordered the Pro Trailer Backup Assist so maybe something there?
To see psi and temp on mine I have to scroll over to the towing info screen, then scroll down to psi and down again to temp. You can see it in the pic below, which was just taken without anything hooked up.

I too received the TPMS & camera kit and do have PTBA. When I scroll to the temp readings, they are blank. I'm not sure if I have outdated sensors or what. Need to do more digging.
