TPMS?
Is TPMS a no-cost option? My 2006 S Cab (GT Silver, Cocoa, Cocoa) is on the boat, and was wondering if it is going to have TPMS. Any guesses?

Yes, tells tire pressure of each tire
temperture of air in each tire
condition of the transmitters battery (the gadget IN each tire)
Tells you to, "add air" eventually tells you "FLAT TIRE!"
Cool HUH?

The only "no cost" option is the Deletion of Model Designation option

Delete sunroof for the 996 was no cost (they SHOULD have credited people for that one!).

In MY 07 TPMS may be standard equip.
For MY 06 You gotta pay
According to the new NHTSA regulation, passenger cars newly registered in the United States will have to be fitted with tire pressure monitoring systems starting in 2006. Systems are prescribed that warn the driver if one or more tires are under-inflated by 25% or more, and that monitor all four tires simultaneously and independently. The NHTSA regulation therefore in effect prescribes the introduction of direct systems such as the Tire Safety System (TSS) supplied by BERU.
The phase-in schedule requires 20% of new passenger cars to be fitted with a TPM system in the first year, which starts on September 1, 2005. In the following year, starting on September 1, 2006, 70% of newly registered cars must be fitted with such a system; and as of September 1, 2007, TPM systems are mandatory for all new four-wheel vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds or less. 16.5 to 17 million vehicles are currently sold in the United States each year that will be subject to this new regulation. German manufacturers export some 600,000 automobiles per annum to North America.
