I wouldn't use a pressure washer, but only a hose and a brush. Too many places water can penetrate where it shouldn't be, IMO. But you do as you like.

I've my RTV for a year and a half.
I have pressured washed it a half dozen time with no problems. I use a lower pressure nozzle - 500 or 1000 PSI and just try and be careful where I spray.

If you have a bed liner, there is almost no other way to get the mud off.

I've always used a pressure washer and have had no issues.

When done, just let it air out for awhile before starting.

The rubber mat in the passenger compartment will collect water under it. I try to flip it up a bit (from the front) to let that area dry.

if things are not stuck too hard a leaf blower can work really well.

I use a pressure washer to wash everything I own that moves, and then some things that don't move too. I stay away from delicate areas, or areas that have electronics.

It saves time and effort on the tractors, RTV and vehicles, for sure.
