Trailer Tire Mintor Sensor Recommendations for new Ford

I have a 2017 Ford 350 dually. The display/computer seems to be capable of reading the trailer tire pressure. I am guesting all I need is some type of valve stem senors for the trailer wheels to feed a signal back to the truck's display monitor. Any recommendations and how do they work for you?

The Ford senors have to be installed inside the tires. For me not worth the trouble or the expense.
I use a TST 507 I got from TechnoRV on all the tires.
I love this thing and has saved me once so far.

AFAIK tpms systems are not required on 1 ton and above vehicles so GM and looks like ford at least aren't installing them as a std feature. OEM sensors or a correct type aftermarket replacement snesor would likely be needed to pair correctly to the reciever if it is in the truck. If you want them I'd go to a ford dealership and find out if it is possible to make it work with your truck

GM has the TPMS off in the ECM for 1 ton trucks, and cannot be turned on once it leaves the factory. I wish they would let us buyers decide if we want an option even if it costs some $. Just weird they are turning of a possible $ stream, albeit probably a small one, however pure profit as it is already there.

It just totally ticked me off that my 2008 2500 GMC D/A truck had built in pressure sensors which I could read on my DTIC BUT that my 2017 GMC 3500 D/A Denali didn't come with them and was told GMC didn't add them to their duallies...for the $$ we pay, how ridiculous.

The tire sensors were standard on my F-350 dually.

The op is talking about the option where you can install them on your trailer and they show up on your dash along with your truck tire sensors. As stated above, buy from dealer and install in tire.
