The factory ones.

Try ebay for an aftermarket kit. Should run ~$80 for the 4 sensor kit.

According to the description "This is the best back-up sensor on the market today in terms of accuracy, functional and the near/or better than the OEM finishing available "

$32 + $15 for two additional sensors. I have the factory ones on my SuperDuty, I would get all four.

Cool. Thanks guys. One more thing: what's the advantage of four sensors over two?

Here's a low cost alternative possibly worth consideration...

That's priceless! What's sad, is I was around when those were popular!!

Cool...
One more thing. In the auction Fuzzy posted, the guy offers both drilled and stick-on sensors.
Which ones do you recommend?

 

[lseguy]

I opted for the drilled sensors. If I recall, he includes the special drill bit with the kit. At least he did when I purchased mine 3 years ago.

I also installed the drilled sensors. Just a word of advise, don't mount them too low. Had I to do it over again, I would have put them in the chrome strip, or just below it.

My F-350 pickup is a foot wider then the LS. I do have blind spots between the 4 sensors. If I back up to a pole & It's in between the sensors, it will work at first (roughly 6' away). But as I get closer (about 2' away) the warning shuts off giving me the all clear. If I'm backing up to a wall, car, or the pole is in front of one of the sensors, no problem / works great.

Get the 4 for $15 more & know they will pay for them selves in the long run!
