i just went through the same exact thing. I bought tires was told it had the tpms sensors in them. Guess what they didn't. I had to add them. But in researching When i thought it had sensors I found the 2018 Raptor does use a different frequency sensor than the F150. Tasca showed the 2018 Raptor uses the same sensor as the Superduty a 433Mhz. That may vary with year model. The F150 uses 315mhz sensor. I think you can change with Forescan. When i changed it still didn't work because mine didn't have sensors. But I think it does. I ended up breaking the bead and looking at the stem and it didn't have the sensor. So I bought the sensors and a pairing tool off Amazon for $85 and used a Harbor Freight tire tool to break the bead. Simple screw on. Wasn't too hard. After installed I had to pair the sensors. Apparently there are 2 ways to pair. One involves pressing the brake then cycling the key 3 times stopping in the run position then press and release the brake again then cycle the key again and it should put it in pairing mode. (plenty of threads on this) Use a TPMS tool for the correct frequency and it will pair. It paired right up and works now.... Finally . Good luck!
Good luck

@Firedaniel Wow, well thanks for all that info. So even if I have the sensors, they would not pair because they have a different frequency. I don't have Forscan but I know a lot of people on this site use it. Did you try using Forscan first then?
The only difference using the tool mentioned above is that instead of dropping pressure, you use the tool. I tried without and then with the tool repeatedly before realizing I had managed to order the wrong-generation TPMS sensors, swapped them for the correct ones, and retrained easily with the tool. The next set of wheels I installed I didn't train, I just let the computer pick them up, and it worked fine.
YMMV, but it may be worth going to a decent shop that has an actual multi-brand TPMS scan tools and can determine what's in the tires without breaking the beads. Or spend $60 on eBay, get TPMS sensors, and break the beads and install them yourself if you've got the tools to do so.

You are suggesting that one can use FORScan to change the frequency of the truck's TPMS sensors? First time I'm reading that, but I don't go on the Raptor or SuperDuty forums. Source?

Possibly but i cant prove it. In playing with the BCS module in Forscan. 726-40-02 there is a sensor lo hi i was playing with. A few others. I had changed the setting to hi (not sure if this works or not) . when i figured out i didnt have the sensors installed. I ordered and put in the new sensors but my 315mhz sensors wouldnt pair. I remembered that setting i had changed and switched it back and it all paired and worked fine. I honestly dont know if it will work but its possible... hope this helps
Is tire pressure equal to Placard? Check the air pressure. The air pressure has to be set at what the tire placard indicates NOT what the tire side wall says.
Are old sensors in or around vehicle? Make sure the old sensors are not in the car or near the car when doing the relearning.
Did you wake up the sensors as instructed? Deflate the tire let it sit for at least 5 minutes then reflate tire to what the placard indicates before doing the relearning. (That wakes up the sensor protocols due to the ability of going into sleep mode after 20 min of inactivity)
If your sensors are bad or have the wrong sensors, you can always check our website oewheelsllc.com. We offer a variety TPMs sensors at great prices.
FYI, after a quick look at Tasca parts it shows both 315 Mhz and 433 Mhz for a 2017 Ford Raptor. Seems strange they would use two different sensors types, but there it is. I really wonder if @Firedaniel is on to something with the Forscan setting.
