Question Standard TPMS on newer Ford E450 builds?

I read on a SOB forum that apparently recent Ford E450s are coming through with TPMS standard.

Anybody found that to be the case with Thor rigs built on the E450 chassis?

According to Ford, it does. I do not see how Thor can change that since it is a (Standard Feature) See the PDF link and look at (Standard Features)

The factory TPMS is installed on our Ford E450 chassis and looks to be by Ford and it is integral to the information display in the instrument panel. It does not display all the time but neither does the ones on our 2013 Silverado, 2015 Ford Cmax, and 2020 Chevy Sonic. They for sure will tell you when you have low air pressure in one of the tires. What is significant about the TPMS on the E450 is that it monitors both the inside and outside dual rear tires.

What I am pumped about on the E450 we have is that it shows which gear the transmission is in and what the cruise control speed it set to. It still shows the cruise set speed when the cruise is off but has a line thru it to tell you it is not active. All the previous vehicles we have owned only told you that the cruise was on or off but not what the set speed was. I had to add the Silverleaf and a computer tablet to our previous diesel pusher to get all these features.

I like the idea of a factory tpms.
