For those of you with beadlock factory wheels...is your spare mounted on a beadlock as well?

My 2018 is due in next week and I want to know if I need to put that on my inspection list.

Huh! No shit. Didn't even know that. I guess I need to get up under there and pay more attention. Have only been under the front side to change oil...

Yes it is. No TPMS though

+1^^

I had to drop the spare to free up space/access to install shit in the bed a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised to see the forged wheel on the spare.

Why no TPMS in the spare?

I'm going to need one as I plan on doing a 5 wheel/tire rotation

Probably just the manufacturer saving money.

I think there's no reason why with the beadlock upgrade cost they couldn't include a TPMS AND set the dash up so the tire pressure screen also showed the spare tire pressure.

My Gen 1 spare was beadlock and I assumed same on Gen 2 spare but hadn't dropped it to look. TPMS may be just a matter of programming it to the system. Stems look similar.

Can the system read and report 5 TPMS sensors? How will it know where the 5th one is, especially if you swap out the spare to rotate for wear?

Usually a handheld TPMS reset tool is used to trigger and reprogram sensors after a rotation, sensor change, etc.

I want to rotate the tires including the spare since I paid for it.

I assume I can add a TPMS for the spare and have the Raptor re-learn the 4 tires on the ground ignoring the spare.

Here's a TPMS for a Ford F-150 2017 from CJ Pony Parts

https://www.cjponyparts.com/ford-ti...or-valve-stem-type-f-150-2015-2017/p/TBANDS8/

$39.99 but may not be in stock - good price to have when talking to Ford dealer
