I have bought a different set of Ford wheels for my 2020 STX and the seller had used the TPMS sensors on his new wheels. I therefore need to buy some new TPMS sensors. I've now spent a few hours searching and reading lots of thread on TPMS sensors and am about to order on Amazon. Quite a few members have vouched for them but none of them have 2020 models so I wanted to check with those who have gone before before pulling the trigger. So, can anyone verify that these will work on a 2018-20? Anyone know of any issues with them?

Thanks,
Randy in Oregon

 

I am in the exact same quandary. Also came up with the Amazon item that you did. Says it'll fit my 2015 Lariat.

Hopefully, someone will answer both of us soon. I just bought a set of 2020 Raptor wheels.

From the Amazon website:
You last purchased this item on September 1, 2020.

They work on my 2018 XLT, no problems after a month or so.

 

I'm getting frustrated w/ my 2018 Lariat and a new set of wheels/tires. I ordered 4 OE 433mhz wheel sensors from Tasca that will not respond to the $20 'keyfob' relearn tool, and I just got back from the local tire guy (3rd trip) who is unable to initialize these sensors.

So much for trying to do the right thing and buying OE sensors.

I was going to order a $300 tool, but it appears that neither of the $300 tools at the local shop will work, so...

The shop tells me both 315mhz and 433mhz sensors were used for 2018 F150, but he could not give me a VIN or production date for the change (and he's getting that info from his $300 aftermarket tool).

I think it's time to head to my dealer and see if they'll let me throw money at this while I try to explain that I didn't purchase the wheels, sensors or tires from them...

FYI, my new sensors are:
F2GZ-1A189-F

According to the tire shops tools all sensors are 'working' @ 433mhz (they show up on the tool).
Tasca info:
https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts...sor-f2gz1a189f
(Tasco does show this is a 433mhz sensor, and that it fits 2018 F150.)

I hope my limited info helps someone.

EDIT: just as an FYI, my truck was picking up the original tires/rims/sensors stored in my shed some 20ft away. Twice I had to drive about 10 miles before the system reset with 3 dots (...) in place of the pressure digits, and illuminated the TPMS fault light.

I cannot imagine how many billions of lives were saved due to underinflated tires, and how many dinasaurs and unicorns were saved from the oil refineries by having our govt mandate this absurd 'feature' to save 5 gallons of gas burned due to under inflated tires since it was implemented.

 

I was once coming up on a vehicle that had a bit of smoke trailing it. As I got into the next lane and started to pass, noticed his wheel was spinning in the tire slightly. I tried to warn him, but he was having none of that. Backed off hard to give him room. In about 30 seconds he went from a touch of smoke to tire rolling down the street beside him. He was lucky to not have hit the wall after that tire came off.

In our high center of gravity trucks and SUV's with taller sidewall tires, I doubt we'll all be as lucky. **** EPA, I'm using TPMS to ensure I'm not overheating a tire while towing, or about to go sideways at 65mph with 7000lb on the ball to drag the truck on it's side all over kingdom come (which resides inside a concrete form, I'm certain).

Don't get shortsighted on personal gain just because something benefits the EPA.

 

433mhz are not the right sensor... You need 315mhz...

 

I prefer the personal gain I get from the $100 tire gage and $250 pyrometer that has been working well enough to keep 190+mph motorcycles going through the banking at Daytona, Talledega, Pocono and Texas World for 20+ years, and would prefer to save the $400 in sensors, $2500 in computer, and $5000 in OE Ford diagnostic tool.

The guy who doesn't use a tire pressure guage is the same guy that puts a matchbook cover in front of the TPMS and check engine lights and continues to drive past the free air pump at his local gas station on almost flat tires.

You can lead an F150 with a flat tire to an air pump, but you can't make the owner fill it with anything short of a dead man switch.

I'm happy that you find value in it. I won't until the Feds come to the realization that OBD did NOTHING to improve anyone's lives but dealer service managers, so they finally woke up and mandated OBDII. We need TPMS2. 0 desperately, or it needs to go away. I'll likely try to defeat it with ForScan if my dealer wants any more than a half hour in labor to get it working.

 

Not going to work as I stated.

 

Rick,
Do you have a source where I can confirm this? Several Ford parts retailers are showing the 433mhz as the correct part number for my VIN. OE sensors are about $100ea, and I'd like to confirm these are trash be for I incur $500+ to replace new parts.

 

Ordered these from Amazon in January of this year.

4PCS TPMS Tire Pressure Sensors F2GT-1A189-AB For 2015-2018 Ford F-150 Mustang Edge From Madlife Garage

They have worked perfect since being installed. I also used one of the cheap little programmers that run about $5 on Amazon to activate them prior to having them installed. Simply place one each of the sensors on top of one of your four tires then follow the program guide on how to activate them. This way if there is any problem in activating them to your truck you are not out the money of having them installed only to later have them removed.
Call your local Ford parts dealership and have them run your VIN to make sure that you order the proper frequency sensors. I think that most operate on the 315 MHz and not the 433MHz.
