My factory ones tore the rubber on the way home from work on the same day my new ones were coming in from Amazon. Timing couldn't have been better.
Bosch Icons has been great so far. I'll obviously have to wait for a whole year to see how they're holding up. But so far really happy.
Amazon 19.75 each.

I've used Bosch ICONs on my vehicles for years. I tried some other ones (rain-x I think?) for my wifes car because I found them for a crazy cheap sale price at Costco. They didn't last as long.
With the Bosch ICON I can usually get at least a year out of them. After that, they don't due as well in the cold.... they tend to chatter a bit when cold.
I just put a new set on my truck this weekend! Drive in this morning in the cold rain was great - smooth and super clean.
The key is to get the frameless ones (especially if you live in the snow/ice climates). They have nice even pressure on the windshield and won't ice up in the winter. Bosch ICON is great, but the other brands have similar ones that work well.

Yes, I know that I'm resurrecting on old thread! But now I'm looking for a set of wiper blades for my 2010 F-150. I've been using the Motorcraft blades and they're been good but my last set only lasted 2 year and my previous ones had been lasting almost 3 1/2 years. Worse, I just put on a new set of Motorcraft blades last night and drove the truck with them this morning and the dammed things are chattering! They haven't even been on the truck for 24 hours yet! And yes, the windshield was SCRUBBED clean yesterday AM and before the new blades were installed. I've had this truck for almost ten years and have replaced the wiper blades with Motorcraft brand blades three times previously and I have never had any chattering like these blades do. The new Motorcraft blades are completely non-acceptable IMO. They're so bad that I came home this morning and pulled them off and went and dug my old blades out and the trash and reinstalled them until I can find something better.
I stopped and talked to the folks at the local Pep-boys and they're recommending either the Bosch Evolution blades or their in house brand (I can't recall the name at the moment). Has anyone had any experience with either of these blades? Or any other brand suggestions?

Thanks both of you. I tried Tricos a long time ago but they didn't last long but I may give them a shot again. FWIW i dug around on the internet and I found a post that claimed that the originals as installed by Ford are Anco 31s! Those are only about $4 and change online so I might give them a try. Even if they only last a year, they're still cheaper than the $$$$ stuff. I had a pair of Bosch somethings on my previous truck and they lasted a LONG time but I bought Bosch wipers twice after that but they didn't perform well at all.
