Default TPMS issues 2024 +

So I have learned some valuable information from Ford in the past couple days.
the 2024 trucks will not work with after market tpms sensors. There is nothing you can do to make the truck see them and Ford confirmed they are different for 2024 and only a Ford brand sensor will work now.

I was very disappointed as they are $98 Canadian each plus tax and installation and I already paid to have the Schraeders installed in the wheels on my truck with my new rims.

That sucks, I'd hate to rip off the tires just to replace the sensors + re-balance etc. the tpms is a lazy-safety feature, but if my existing ones go bad, I wouldn't rip off the tire just to replace that. I also have a set of winters and I didn't bother putting in sensors. so for me, forscan to disable tpms (so the warning doesn't pop every time I start the truck) during winter, re-enable during summer. I might get lazy and disable permanently.

After the batteries died on my Honda Accord a second time, I wasn't going to shell out that money again. I can feel when tires are low. I wonder if they are covered by the extended warranty

Default 2024 F150 TPMS issues

We are confused about the TPMS issues. We have aftermarket rims. We understand Ford changed the TPMS sensors in the 2024s. Happens all the time. We know which sensor they are using now, and aftermarket ones are available, but I’m understanding from here that those can’t even be used?? We tried having our current ones (before knowing all this) relearned on our truck. They don’t work (now we know why). But now the cabin lights stay on and flash because the process wasn’t completed. I know this is nothing new. But it’s not resetting at all. Before 2024 after so many cycles it would reset, but it isn’t. Anyone know how to reset? Our Ford dealership has no clue and didn’t even know about the cabin lights flashing thing! I had to inform them. Is the only way to shut off the cabin lights now is by buying 2024 Ford TPMS sensors at $97.89 a piece plus installation?

I wonder what people did before the "benevolent" .gov (rightfully so in many cases) decided people are too stupid to check their tire pressures? The horrors!

In my opinion they are a pretty large increased cost at little benefit for people who properly maintain their vehicles. I will concede the one time they might be useful is when a small leak occurs while driving down the road, possibly alerting to low tire pressure before the tire gets overly hot and a blowout occurs. YMMV

I have changed my mind after some tire adventures. I once thought like you, but have had enough onboard low pressure warnings that I did not catch by eye--and might have caused real problems on the road. Even if you break out your gauge (and I do carry a quality gauge in the truck) at every stop, you still will not catch a tire that starts going down while driving.

I've only had one time in almost 50 years of driving where a TPMS system would have alerted me in time to save me from driving on a flat tire (never personally had a blowout). I replace tires at the first sign of hydroplaning easily, no matter how much tread is left, so I never drive with tires down to the wear bars. Simply a matter of personal preference/viewpoint. For the vast majority of drivers who typically poorly maintain their vehicle, TPMS systems probably make sense.

I watched a young lady obliviously driving down the road (city street) about 4 days ago on a completely flat passenger front tire on a front wheel drive car. I tried to flag her down but she ignored me. Half a block down the road she came to a stop sign; when she turned the corner, it started grinding the wheel on the ground, making a horribly loud grinding noise. All her windows were down so she had to hear it. Yet she obliviously drove on. My bet is she was used to ignoring her TPMS alert because she didn't maintain it due to cost. There's no helping some people. 🤷

Is there any updates for the 2024 TPMS for winter tire wheel combo.
I really hate to go to the dealer and pay $400 for sensors I have a set of wheel and tire from my 2011 with 315 mhz sensors which I know wont work with the '24

I never trust the first person to tell me something like this. I verify from other sources. Even if it is true today, tomorrow the aftermarket will provide..
