MT, TPMS is great, but when it's from the factory you can't adjust thresholds lower for the off towing season. Well, your dealer can if you ask real nice...

I can too. I worked for dealers untill last year, still have my bi-directional scan tool and keep it updated.
Why would you lower the tires Anyways? My truck is supposed to have 65 psi in each of the rear duals according to the door jam sticker.

Better ride in the off towing season. More important in a SRW for sure as they would want my truck at 80 PSI empty. Still though, I'd like to be the master of my own domain with a DRW too.

Since she works at a large Ford dealer, we get employee pricing, plus any rebates and incentives on top of that. They are really pushing deals to meet their year end goal, so I got a super trade in. Last truck was moderately equipped, this one is loaded. Too good to pass on.

Deleted is what I've seen on all the duallys, but its funny that i have wifi factory in my truck, but they cant program it for 6 tires. Some toyotas use to have sensors on the spares and we had to air them up to clear tire lights.
I just worry about my duals tires getting a flat and not noticing. I cant tell the "thump" at 65psi like i can 100+psi on semi tires.

MT, that's why I favor an aftermarket TPMS on a DRW. I'm looking forward to seeing what Ford does for the 17's with their new trailer TPMS and whether you can tie in the truck.

I'm still unsure if I like the looks of the '17 SuperDuty. Lots of cool features coming. NOT a fan of the aluminum box.

I agree Dave on looks. I like the old front clip better but like the 17's interior and dually fenders much better. And like you said, the new tech features and performance increase are very cool.
