So I just got my 2018 on Friday - today, at 90 miles I got a TPMS module error. All tires are good but the system won't show the PSI of any tire, it just shows as --. I did RTFM and there is a way to reset but it seems pretty involved. Is there a simpler way or can this be done via forscan which is coming Friday, or is this a trip to the dealer?

Also, I can't for the life of me figure out how to fold down the backrests of the driver side rear seats. Old age maybe? Passenger side has a strap to pull, no such ******** driver side. TIA.

Dunno about the TPMS, but the driver's side rear seat back is held in place by a latch that's kind of difficult to locate/release (it is not really intended to be user-released).

Here is a product (and some pics) that alleviates the issue: https://www.builtrightind.com/products/builtright-industries-f-150-rear-seat-release

The 2018's don't have any space behind the drivers side rear seat. An amp and subwoofer are there and that leaves no space for anything. Check it out before you decide to buy or craft a release.

It's the sub that I'm looking to get to though...

I went to youtube, fiddled and cursed at it for about 10 minutes before getting success. Don’t overthink it. put the head rest down so you can see behind the seat. on the inboard side, is a sort of stubby knob. push the seat back towards the rear of the truck and pull this knob up and the seat will release, pull the seat forward before you let the latch go.
