2024 Tremor; does the spare tire have a TPMS?

Thanks
 
Mine did not have a sensor in the spare, and I had the tire shop add one. There are a few reports of spares having sensors from the factory. But I think most do not.
 
Any short-cuts to determine if one is present or not? Short of installing the spare and going through the programming steps? Or removing the tire?
 
I say you do not have one, I did not. I do now when I bought 5 new wheels and tires.

I just found, in very small print in the owner's manual, that it does not come with one. I was hopeful that it did come with one, such as in my Bronco, since the Tremor also has a full-size matching wheel and tire. Thought I would do the five-tire rotation.
 
Will the tire pressure screen show the spare if it has a sensor in it?
Good question. That would be a great feature. Doubt it though. Like with the Bronco, it will likely only appear when mounted and you go through the calibration process.

My spare had a tiny sticker on it that I think was there to show it did not have a TPMS. If you mount the spare on your truck, the system should detect the TPMS if it is there. Once I added a TPMS to the spare my truck will detect and update the tire pressure locations.

Also the spare is not balanced from what I can tell.
 
Spare does NOT have a TPMS in from the factory. I had Discount add one for about $50 and I now do a 5 tire rotation.
