Bought used 2007 F150 Screw - how do I know if it has Tire Pressure Monitor System
2007 Ford F150 Lariat SuperCrew truck (have most options but moonroof, heated seats, and memory seats.)
I can't see any switches or lights inside the vehicle that would indicate I have the tire pressure monitor system but I guess it would only show if one tire was very low.
I do still have the factory 20" rims so I could have them and not know it. Do all F150s have them or are they an option?

Write down your VIN, head to your local Ford dealer and visit the Parts department. They can look up all the options your truck had when it left the factory based on your VIN.

TPMS was mandated by the Federal Government in the late 90s (TREAD Act) and if your truck was produced after September 2007, it definitely has them. If it was produced before September 2007, there's a really good chance it has them.
But it should be on your window sticker. You can get your window sticker here:

I actually had this same question this weekend, and the guy who was changing my wheels showed me a light on the dash that indicates that you do have the TPMS. When you start the truck, look on the left side about half way up gauge cluster, and there should be a light that looks like a horseshoe with an exclamation point in it. It's actually a picture of a tire low on air and bowed out at the bottom. Hope it helps.

I guess I would see if I was replacing the tires but I probably will just replace both rims and tires at once.

Let about 5 pounds of air out of one tire and drive around the block. The light will be on within a minute or so if you have it.
Once it is on re-air the tire and drive it the light will reset. Mine usually does with about 1/4 mile.
