You can’t rotate front to rear. The wheels are made for one position either front or rear. I never rotate tires on any vehicle and on my DRW Ford is cost prohibitive since the amount of wear is hardly noticeable. The only way to truly rotate on a DRW truck is to unmount and remount on the appropriate wheel.

Completely wrong. It may be so for your truck, but don't jump to the conclusion that is so for all dually's. My Ram has the steel wheels and any wheel can be located at any position. YTMV.

You CAN run them in any position if you want, but the vehicle may not be able to resolve the new positions correctly and the result will be either a missing sensor or wrong tire reported to you as low on pressure..

I don't know about Fords current DRW setup but at one time Ford did not offer TPMS on dually.. But on non dually, you can rotate tires to different positions, but you need to go through a retraining process to correct the sensor locations. Process goes a bit like this..

There is a key on/off routine to get into training mode, once in training mode, you let out the pressure until you get horn bump, start at drivers side front, go to passenger side front to passenger rear then drivers rear then if successful you will get another horn signal.. Fill tires up to desired pressure and done.

Fords Dually could be similar to RAM Dually if Ford went that route but in this day and age seems like a stone age approach to this. I am sure if I checked the Ford manuals I could figure out if the poster is right but doesn't seem appropriate action for a RAM question..
