Tire Pressure Monitoring System Compatibility with Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel

Updated 01/16/2020 | Published 05/24/2019

Question:

my requirements for tpms fitment are- note: wheel sensors only fit wheels with J-type flange wider than 3.5 in 88.9 mm and a .452 in 11.48 mm valve stem hole stem hole. Will these wheels work.

The Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - White # 560545WM1 has the J-type flange and is 6 inches wide. The valve step hole is 0.453 inches which is the standard until you get to the high pressure tires which are normally larger sizes. Your Tire Pressure Monitoring System will work well with this wheel.

My question is about TPMS for our fifth wheel. I have a 2018 Ford F-250 that has factory TPMS for the truck tires and would like to add the fifth wheel also. On the “trailer information” screen on the dashboard, there’s a line for “trailer tire pressures”, but nothing shows since I don’t have monitors in those tires. So, do I need to add anything other that a good set of wireless monitors wiring, etc.? I already have a 7-pin hookup in my truck bed for the rig. Can’t get a straight answer from Ford so thought I’d ask you guys at eTrailer—the best company on the web, IMHO! Thanks, Rick

If you are wanting to use your existing system on your truck you will most likely have to get the sensors for your trailer tires from Ford. But what I would recommend is to get a TST TPMS system # TST-507-FT-4-C for your trailer tires. It will do much more than just measure the PSI in your tires. It is going to give you warnings for heat, low pressure, and other warnings that are critical when traveling with a camper.
