Default Help!

Saw a new (2012) Ford Explorer Limited with the 303 A options package on it. It had a tire pressure display that showed all 5 tires with the pressure in them at the same time. I bought a new Ford Explorer Limited that had the same identical window sticker (to the letter) but it did not have this option. Nobody at Ford can tell me why or where I might get this option. Love the car but I am disappointed not to have this option.
Hoping somebody on this site can help me locate this option (maybe a download?).
Merry Christmas everybody!
Louis

I was pretty sure that all the 2012 vehicles (incl lt duty) were required to have TPMS monitoring systems in them. Will check further and get back to you.

From what I have just read all manufacturers were required to have the systems installed by the end of 2008.
I think Ford owes you some type of explanation. If not satisfied with it go to Ford corporate.

Would appreciate hearing how you made out, thanks.

Thanks for the reply. My car does have the low tire pressure icon that will come on when pressure is low in any of the four tires but the one that I saw was a digital display with all tire pressures displayed at the same time. One would think that Ford or my dealer and other dealers that I have asked would know something but they don't.

I don't know where you are located, but a large Ford dealership Service Department should be able to explain or at least answer your questions since they are responsible for their tire pressure monitoring systems service and repair. If they can't answer your questions, Ford has a problem.
