Question Reversing Sensor

Ok, got the truck on the road in England at last.
No problems apart from that my tailgate is about as high as the roofline on most cars on the road here.
When I'm reversing, it's just about impossible to judge the distance to a parked car (till my receiver hitch touches ) which is a bit of a problem.
In the UK, you can by reversing sensors which mount to the rear bumper and have a dash mounted readout that either beeps or gives you a distance in inches.
Fine apart from they are only recommended for vehicles that are just under 6 feet wide.

Can anyone recommend a good old American product and where to buy it from?
I will be in Florida in July and put it on the shopping list.

Thanks Mike

This should save me from squishing lots of tiny cars.

English Adam, all I have to say is if your tailgate is at the top of most cars.......
ADD A LIFT KIT TO IT! I dont know if you have a 2wd or 4wd, but you would really stand out big time (not that you don't already) I would love to see some pics of a lifted F150 running some 35's cruising the highways of England.

Nice looking truck there.
It's tempting but I think I will leave it as it is. My oldest daughter is pushing for a lift kit though. Maybe if she pays, ha ha.
Mine is the only one around in my area so it stands out plenty anyway.
It's a 2wd by the way.
