I have used it in pretty high winds, I would estimate 40+ MPH gusts. I live in the DFW area of North Texas - we have a pretty active thunderstorm season here.
There are straps in the midsection that go under the vehicle to secure it in the middle, and the outside perimeter cinches down under...
My truck does not fit in my garage. I have one of these:

In my first 2 weeks of having and using it, we were hit with a hail storm that caused $6k in damage to a neighbor’s Lexus. I was fully protected.
From what few charging stations I have seen, most are a “parking space” layout.
Recharging a truck with a trailer attached will be difficult, if not impossible.
The thought of having to drop the trailer to charge sounds like a deal breaker.
I am not so sure on the downhill part. This is the first I have seen of the instruments, but the motor Indicators appear to be in a coast - not power, but not charge. I would expect charging on a downhill especially with the trailer weight pushing as well.
From the description on the TPMS only kit, yes. It stated it was compatible with the Yaw sensor and from the picture, it looked like there were two connectors on the trailer side cable.
I have the two wire trunck side harness, but received the Yaw sensor with the truck.
I admit I am guessing...
The Yaw sensor should have come with the the Tow Technology package, which I assume you have.
There is a post above with the part numbers for the othear stuff. SHort answer, you can get:
* TPMS only
* Trailer Camera only
* TPMS + Trailer Camera
All say they are compatible with the Yaw sensor...
So for someone who is ignorant of the Ford terminology (read: ME), it sounds like my truck is a Job 1 (bought 2/2/2) Powerboost with Max Tow,Tow Tech, Pro Backup.
So I would need the wiring harness for a single exhaust and get the TPMS Kit for Pro Backup Assist (LC3Z1A189B) to add TPMS only to...
My current thought is to get the following (I already have the Yaw sensor):
The truck wiring harness from the ‘22 F150 (with the additional wires)
And the following pieces from:

TPMS...
Looks like it’s time for another “Thank You” tip! As a feature request, how about you add a link to your Git Hub payment site directly in the script - maybe under the Actions page?
Great work!
So it sounds like it was just plug-and-play with no FORScan changes needed - is that correct?
My personal ideal set up would be having the trailer TPMS (no camera) + Pro Backup Assist Yaw sensor. I did see that they sell the TPMS set up by itself ($520 US) that says it works with...
Seems smart to go after Interstates first. EV owners will likely have home charging capability, so the urban areas will be self-covered In a way. Rural will likely be the last adopters, but the urban customer base will be what gets the market to critical mass.
The biggest hurdle in most...
But we will still need a service locations in an EV world. One big complaint I hear from the Telsa world is frustration over lack of service facilities.
I would venture that a significant number of vehicle service events are non-ICE related. A Tesla power window / power seat motor /...
@Ford Motor Company, could you look into our options here? I would love to get support for trailer TPMS - I just can’t get anyone to tell me what to buy.
Once they get the start up kinks out of the production process, I wonder how the build time for a Lightning vs. gas F-150 will be? Will the EVs assemble quicker due to the drivetrain differences?
