Ford customer placed trailer camera and TPMS sensors

It’s like a docking port deal for the 12 pin connector. Pretty handy actually.

Docking port for the 12 pin? That's not the 7 pin RV connector? Can you explain, possibly with pictures?

Not sure I have a picture of both the 7 pin from the trailer and the Ford 12 pin, but that’s what is in the cable wrap. Go watch the video from that install that I linked, you can fast forward to the 8:36 mark or so, he shows both cables and then them wrapped.

If you look at the right side of the photo, the smooth cable is the 7 pin and the ribbed looking one is the Ford 12 pin, hope that helps. I have the 7 pin kind of coiled up in the pin box and the 12 pin in the docking port.

I guess it's the 12 pin thing that has me intrigued. I've heard of hard wired cameras but never seen the connection for them.

Jlawles2 The Ford 12 pin connection has the camera, TPMS, and yaw sensor for the Pro Trailer Backup Assist all in 1 wiring harness.

I converted my 2019 for the trailer TPMS (do not use the camera) and you give up the 4 pin connection and end up with a dual 7 pin and 12 pin. I think the kit also included a 7 to 4 adapter in case you need it.
