Tpms sensor swap?
I have a 2015 XLT Sport, and ordered a new set of 20" fuel hostages today.
Not sure if when I get the new wheels put on I can just swap the sensor from the old wheels to the new wheels, or if I need to buy new sensors. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Absolutely correct. Most reputable tire shops offer a kit to swap your existing sensors over to your new wheels which prevents you from having to buy new sensors.
If a tire shop tries to sell you new sensors find another shop.
Only reason not to swap sensors would be if you wanted to keep your old tires and wheels as replacements without having to swap sensors or if you wanted to sell them as ready to install.
