FORD TRAILER TPMS CAMERAS YOU ADD TO YOUR BUILD

[Iron Man]

Ironman, I ordered this, and mine was in a sealed box in the back seat... my salesman, opened the box with me and took everything out, went through it to ensure it was all there... he packaged it back in the box and back in the back seat it went. I have not installed it as of yet.. Further, my winch was NOT included, and I did have to wait for the salesman to track it down for me, which took about a week, and they did the install and gave me a loaner while they took care of that piece. Sorry you having these issues, should not happen, let alone at this price point... Hope you get it resolved quickly.. ask them for the Ford Rep phone number.. that should move them..

Thanks brother. It’ll all work out. You are one of the few that received it. I’m glad it worked out for you. Sounds like a great dealer. ???????

Today is a new day. I hated being so bothered over a 725$ camera. Much worse things to be bothered over. But thanks for your well wishes.

I ordered my truck June 2020, picked it up October 2020, and the Trailer Camera/TPMS came in December 2020. I had to pick it up from the dealer, but my sales guy had it on his desk, it was unopened, and had my VIN on it.

The box is in my garage for now, don't know what to do with it. I ordered for the TPMS, don't need the camera persé, as I have a Furion wireless camera installed on my trailer.

I installed my camera/TPMS system. I also have a camera on my RV but now I don't have to have a separate monitor to view. I bought it so I can use the AUX camera to view my RV right on the display.

Interested in selling the camera?

Any lessons learned or tips from the install process?

Did you install the camera yourself or have it professionally done?

Edit: I reread your comment. You did the install.

Well the dealer delivered my camera kit today right to my house through his parts guy. He said they were backordered nationally and they just came in. 39 days after taking delivery. All wires and a few little boxes and random cables with instructions. Sealed. Now I just gotta try and hook it up.

I ordered just the TPMS option and upon truck delivery they were no where to be found. Sales had to fill out a "we owe" paper. Following day they found it. The box was opened, but all the parts were accounted for. Not happy with that situation. I asked them if they read the window sticker. Idiots.

Other than running the cable and mounting the camera what more is there to it? I have a Furrion that came with my trailer but I ordered the Ford on the assumption that it couldn't be worse plus not having the Furrion monitor rattling around on the dash will not be missed. It actually nestles quite well in the dash trough but the power cord dangling down to the 12V ciggy outlet is a big turnoff.

Really appreciate this thread. I included the Trailer Camera/TPMS kit in my order as well and the dealer is expecting the truck in the next week. I just sent an email to my salesman about this apparent issue in the interest of giving him a heads up to make sure and follow up before I drive over to pick up the truck. I really don't expect the package to be in the truck but I do expect the dealership to own this and make it right. I will not do what they have been paid generously to do for me. I should know in a few days.

And here is my story.....ordered just the kit for TPMS about a year ago through and online Ford dealer in Florida. A week later got the box, opened it and the TPMS receiver module had a tag on it saying "DEFECTIVE". Called the dealer and they didn't believe me. I had to send a pic to the parts manager. He reluctantly said he would send a replacement but they were out and he would have to track one down. 2 weeks later I get it in the mail. Installation was pretty straight forward. Turned on the truck and it was not showing up in my trailer info screen. Called the manager back and told him it also didn't work. Another 2 weeks later I get a box and this time it had whole new kit. TPMS, wiring harness and as a bonus there was the camera in it!!! I think I paid just over $400 and with the camera it was about $600. The camera was easy to hookup on my camper. So now while I'm pulling my camper I can view the camera from my console and no longer have to use an external wireless monitor which blocks my view

Here is what the instructions don't tell you......In order for it to work you have to use Forscan and enable the trailer tpms menu or take it to a dealer and hope the will do it for you.

You’re basically correct. Run the cable and mount the camera... plus you have to swap out the bumper plug ? on your truck to the new one they give you that gas a port for the camera cable. This part is super easy after you drop the spare tire down.
A guy on YouTube has a 4 part install guide that walks you through the whole process.
Here’s his trailer playlist that contains the Ford customer placed trailer camera videos.

My winch arrived at the dealer a couple days earlier but the trailer cam/TPMS did not. My salesman is taking charge of getting this ironed out. I told him I don't have my trailer yet so no burden for me and he said he'll stay on it with the parts department to get it expedited if possible. Craig Bowes at Pearson Ford Zionsville, IN is the best there is.

 

[Loshad]

My truck arrives in 2 weeks. Hope the camera kit is in it cause I have my trailer. To be honest I don't use the one that came with the TT a lot of the time but it is worthwhile sometimes if the wife cannot get out with her walky-talky.

 

[Iron Man]

I contacted my dealer several times to see what is up with the camera. The parts manager tried forcing me to accept a 2018 camera with another customers name on it and his vin #. I'm still angered by it and finally emailed the sales manager on 1 1/2 weeks ago with no response so now I'm requesting a refund. I feel very uncomfortable that it has to go through the parts manager. I'm dealing with a lot of stuff on my plate and just want to end this situation. Its been 12 weeks ago since I received my truck. This whole ordeal with this dealer has been miserable.

Good luck with that. Picked up my truck March 3, 2020. Still waiting on the TPMS.
Hope yours will be arriving soon.

BTW... Ford customer assistant person says none in supply chain.

Ya that's kind of what I figured. Some dealers are stringing customers along by making promises they can't keep or just making things up. I've known Craig for 16 years and he's never done me wrong. I'm in no hurry so as long as I get it down the road I'm fine. If it becomes unavailable he will get me reimbursed.
