If you mean tool, you don't need it for 2010+ they're self learning.
but the tool from the '07-'09 does work on the '13, I had to use it once cause they didn't register, so shouldn't be any different on the '15.

Do aftermarket wheels come with TPMS, or does it have to get added on (switched from stock wheels)? Is it hard to switch back and forth if I keep my stock wheels for winter?

You have to buy a second set of TPMS for the new aftermarket wheels

I'm a fan, personally... it's easier than getting out and checking the air pressure on each of the tires once a week.

I dunno, I've never had any sensitive enough to matter. They always seem to allow something ridiculous like +-5 PSI before they light up. Now if they were digital pressure gauges and read live PSI in each tire to a display... that would be endlessly useful.

The TPMS did save me from being stuck on the side of the interstase changing a tire that made me start liking them better. When the weather changes from hot to cool I always get that tire warning light .

I snapped a pic for someone on another thread. Its a cool little screen showing each individual pressure.

You can't just switch sensors back and forth willy nilly, you'd have to brake down all the tires remount & balance every time. Doing that just once would cost more than a new set of sensors. Not to mention no tire shop could match the factory balance. They also use special value stems that can't be reused.
You could buy a brand new OEM set of 4 + valve stems on ebay for less than $100. Then you could change tires back and forth any time you want, the sensors are self learning. They don't have to say Ford on them either there's only one company that makes them and they're FCC regulated.
Also if you buy a set of rims and tires from someplace like Tire Rack or American Tire they'll install them before they ship.

Yeah but where can I get this new TPMS sensor. Can I buy the ones that work for 2014 models? For example, I want to purchase this wheel + tire combo:

The TPMS sensors cost 194 for this set. Although its a rip off, if they put them in for me, then it will cost me a lot less for labor. So it works out.
Please shed some light on this.

Can’t seem to find any technical spec on the ’15 sensors. Does anyone know what they are?
The 14’s are 315MHz. Did you call American Muscle to see if they know if they're still the same yet?
$194 is a bit much but still worth every penny if they ship them to your door mounted & balanced, then you could change them back and forth yourself any time.. I would even pay extra just to not have to go to a tire shop and have some monkey that doen't know what they're doing mess up my wheels.
