Knowing what I know now, after 20+ years of 4-wheeling, I'd buy a quality TPMS for my trailer (if I hauled) and one for my 4-wheeling Toyota.

We tend to spend gobs of money on bling and other goodies but seemingly ignore some basic safety considerations.

A father of one of our 4-wheeling families was killed when his SUV rolled over on the freeway due to a blown tire.

I've seen multiple hauling trailer tires issue on a number of 4-wheeling trips.

My 2013 Corolla has a warning light, low tire pressure icon, on the instrument panel.  My wife doesn't really pay much attention to that, like I do.  There needs to be an audible alarm that alerts the driver to a low tire pressure issue.
