Can the FLTW-3050 sensors handle daily pressure-washing? We wash our trucks at the end of every route. thanks, dave 24 ford 250 work truck

Dave, the Brandmotion Parking Sensor System for Commercial Vehicles # BM39FR has sensors that are IP68-rated, so they’re sealed against dust and water immersion. Just avoid blasting the sensor face directly at close range.

I see you have a 2024 f250 work truck. Is this what you use for all of your fleet trucks? If so, I can help you narrow down the install process. For example, if you have a service bed with metal bumper in the back, you'd need to install the sensors under that flat section of the service bed's bumper which should be a very easy install.

Appreciate it, Andrew. We usually use a hot-water wash. does the heat cause any issues with the IP68 sensors?

@Dave Good follow-up, Dave. Hot-water washing won’t hurt the sensors as they’re rated for full weather and temps up to 176°F. Just don’t blast the nozzle right up close; a little distance keeps the seals safe. Are you mounting them on a pickup bumper or under a service bed?
