    From what I’ve read on other threads the 18+ models use an 8 digit serial number whereas the 17 down models use a 7 digit serial number.
    Because of that, people are reporting that they cannot be interchanged.

    My best advice is to have a tire shop take the sensors out of your current wheels and put them in the new wheels.

    We do it all the time at Discount Tire.
    Your local store should be happy to help.

    All I can do is try to see if they will program but if they won’t I’m just going to buy new ones that are after market...

    From what I have seen recently trying to get 2019 sensor to work on a 2020. Is that based on my recent TPMS tool update, 2018 and 2019 have different protocols the the 2017 and older. I had 2017 already in my software but could not read 2018-2019 sensors at all. Once update for the 2018-2019 sensors my TPMS tool reads them fine now. I would say with little doubt, that no your 2015 sensors won’t work in a 2018-2019truck.

    That doesn't seem to be an option with any of the TPMS tools I have, its all controlled by the ECM, and even if a dealer could with their computers, I suspect the liability of disabling a government mandated safety system would likely lead them to refuse to do so for liability reasons.

    Yep. A shop disabling the TPMS could get them in tons of trouble from the federal government.

    I have seen write ups on this forum and others about how to trick the system and disable it but I do not recommend it.

    Everyone complains about it but I personally think it’s a great system.

    Not long after I got my Tundra 2 years ago I started her up to go to work and the light was on. None of the tires looked even a hair low but after checking them manually I found the RF Tire was 30 pounds low. I wouldn’t have known it had a nail in the shoulder if the TPMS hadn’t told me. Could have led to a blowout and possibly even worse.. a crash.
