Do any F150's connect to TPMS on the trailer?

[don.mullins]

I wonder if it's all trims? My Lariat has the camera option in the camera menu and trailer tire TPMS in the dash menu. I figured they are just having a hard time producing them with all the other shortages.

Where are the trailer tires shown in the dash menu? I have only seen the truck TPMS screen. I have a Platinum.

Towing / Trailer Tire Info

Huh. I don’t recall ever seeing that. I will go check - do you have to be connected to a trailer for it to show up?

Nope, no trailer connected. Here's the previous screen.

I didn't see any such option when I ordered my '22. Is there an option code?

I see this on their order guide:

Individual Trailer TPMS/Customer-Placed Trailer Camera (req. Tow Technology Package (17T) and Trailer Tow Pkg (53A) or Max Trailer Tow Pkg (53C)

My XLT with mid level cluster has a screen for trailer TPMS but I get a similar message that such a trailer isn’t available.

I've been looking for information about built in TPMS so I can ditch my bolt on system. I found in the towing guide trailer sensors are an available accessory

When I look up the part number found each cost about $84 but its unclear what, if any, of the related parts are required. I'll have to dig in a little deeper but am hoping this doesn't require the related parts since I am getting a tow package...$84x4 is already twice as much as my current TPMS. Also hoping there's no need for a signal booster connected to the trailer's battery like my current TPMS system requires.

It all looks like the functionality is available. Would be interested to hear if anyone has it in operation.

Wow! I most certainly do NOT have "Trailer Tire Info" in my towing menu, and I have towed a lot!

Regardless, I have my own TPMS with its own monitor so I am not too worried, just annoyed now I apparently don't have my dash software up to date!

Regarding the camera and TPMS, yes it will definitely be wireless for the F150s. The Superduties have more than just the power+gnd pins in their connector and use a wired CAN bus. The TPMS is definitely going to have a powered repeater for the hitch to reach the dash. You do not want those little monitor tire caps doing BLE transmitting all the way to the dash as you'd need to transmit at least 20dBm or something powerful and wouldn't last a month.

I'm also pretty confident that the camera will be wireless, because for sure the tailgate camera is already wireless (not sure about the other 4). I can say this with confidence as if I'm using wireless android auto (which uses a ton of wifi to the Sync unit) and go into reverse, the camera shows up in the console and android auto becomes super choppy. The Sync unit is not good at handling multiple wifi streams of high bandwidth apparently.

Just got my 2021 and was surprised to see this as an option. I thought it was Superduty only. Does anyone have a part number to order the TPMS pieces that would go on the trailer? Or are they not released yet?
