Does my 2015 F350 DRW have TPMS?

How would I find out if my 2015 F350 DRW King Ranch with FX pkg has/doesn't have TPMS? I've never seen any indicator light to indicate a problem, but I make sure my tire pressures are always good, so no reason to have seen this. I'm getting ready to reshoe my truck, so if I don't have this, maybe this would be a good place to consider doing so. If I don't have the sensors, and if I get sensors, will they be able to "fit into" the standard sensing that is already present in the truck (i.e. act as if factory had installed them)??

From my window sticker, I see this:
FX off-road pkg $295
Skid plates
Less tire inflation monitor
14000# GVWR pkg

Not sure if all 4 items are part of the FX pkg, but the "Less tire inflation monitor" does matter I'd think. If this is tied to the FX pkg, why would that be removed (or if NOT part of the pkg, still why would it be a delete???

Let about 10 PSI of air out of one of the tires then start the engine. If you have a TPMS the light will be lit up on the cluster.

I'm not familiar with your truck but I am a TPMS tech at a tire shop. Since around 2012, I believe, all USA sold vehicles were federally mandated to have TPMS. I'm sure yours has it. When you turn your key to on without starting the truck, you should see the TPMS icon. Google it, it's an exclamation point inside a flat tire.

There are a few possibilities:
1. You have TPMS, it is working correctly, and you've never had an issue that would cause your light to come on. And you've just never noticed the light.

2. Your TPMS has been disabled. Either by pulling the bulb or actually disabling the system. I do not know how to disable the system because it's "illegal" and I'm not technically supposed to know how...

Within #2, you can have rubber valve stems or sensors. Most Fords use rubber valve stems that bolt to a sensor inside the wheel, so you can't really tell for sure.
​​​​​​
If #2 is the case, you'll have to figure out how the system is disabled. Then you'll figure out if you have rubbers or sensors.

When I program replacement TPMS sensors, I program them to the ID of the old sensors. Without the old sensors, you have options.

One option is to use preset factory IDs. I don't like this option, it doesn't always work.
​​​​​​
The other option is more difficult but it's the way I do it. You use a scan tool to read the body control module and enter the TPMS system. Once you've entered the TPMS module, you can usually see the sensor IDs the vehicle is expecting at each wheel. Then you manually reprogram sensors to those IDs.

Agree with JeepGuy93, you should see the light come on when you turn the key to "ON" position for a few seconds.

I think duallys are exempt from the tpms mandate, so if your sticker shows it deleted, you don't have it

Did some more research on the date since I forgot. It was a "roll out" mandate. By the end of 2007, 100% of vehicles had it. So 2008 was correct, I was trying to be conservative with 2012.

Vehicles with GVW of over 10,000# are exempt. I didn't think your truck was heavy enough.

Unless you ordered it without (option) it has TPMS. Look at your sticker
