do the factory spares have TPS in them?

[raccol]

thinking about collecting a set of spares so I can have a black set of wheels and was wondering if they have the TPS already or do I need to add.

no they dont, but they can be bought relatively inexpensively at a tire shop.

OUCH!!! not sure what 'relatively inexpensively' means but just called a couple of tire shops and they said the sensors are $60 ea so with install and rebalancing we're looking at $75 ea.

So much for that idea!

Give Discount Tire Direct a call, I believe the ones I got from them were $30-35. Then pick up the sensor activation tool from eBay or Tire Rack for $25 or so.

My truck is on order so I can't look. Does the spare have the same raptor rim or is it one of the generic ugly ones? Just curious it would be nice to be able to rotate the spare in easily. if it is a raptor rim I would think it would have the tps.

It's is the svt raptor wheel but it is black and it doesn't have the tpms

Why in the world would they make the spare wheel black? If it's the Raptor wheel, why didn't they match it with grey? I realize you can buy black Raptor wheels from Ford but stock wheels are grey. Are you telling me the spare wheel is the exact same as the black ones that Ford sells? If so, that's whack.

Government requirement is why it's black it's in a old thread on here somewhere

Thanks...I never saw that thread....looks like if it doesn't have TPMS it has to be black. I'm wondering then if the 2012 spare will match the other 4 on the truck since they're black. Unless they have to paint the entire wheel black. Crazy stuff.
