Recommended TPMS For a Triple Axle Trailer and The 6 Tires on Truck

Question

Question:

Hello, I am looking for a tire pressure Monortring system. My trailer is a triple axel so I need to monitor 6 tires on the trailer. I also would like to monitor the tires on my truck. I have a f450 so I will need to monitor an additional 6 tires on the truck. I do have the up fitter switches so I can hardwire the system. I am wondering what system you would recommend? I am looking for a high quality system. Any suggestions you may have I would be grateful.

I recommend installing the TireMinder i10 TPMS # TM98FR. This system includes 6 of their flow through sensors so you will need 3 more sets of the Flow Through Tire Sensors # TM66FR for your trailer. I prefer the flow through sensors since the sensors used with TPMS are secured in place with a nut. These flow through sensors make it much easier to add and remove air since you will not have to have a wrench to remove a standard sensor cap. The i10 screen is color and very easy to read. It is capable of remembering up to 40 sensors and allows you to see the pressure or temperature for up to 10 sensors on a single screen. You will be able to set the front vehicle with 6 sensors and your trailer 6 sensors on 2 separate screens and the display will cycle between the screens while you drive to easily monitor all your tires.

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.

If you have the Ford 3" hitch then you can definitely add it but, yes it would change the weight capacity. The TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension item #TLE1636 only has a 3,600 lbs towing capacity and a 360 lbs maximum tongue weight. If used with a…

Answer 11

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
