For those of you with the new generation F150 ...what types of replacemnt wiper blades are everyone using. Looking to replace the stock blades soon

Thanks

 

Search Silblade. PIAA makes a silicone wiper too that gets pretty good marks here too.

I've been running Silblades for YEARS now and LOVE them.

 

I am running bosch blades. Very good performance, even in sleet and ice conditions.

 

I've tried them all and found the Trico's actually wipe the best for me, plus they are oem.

 

I am using the Bosch Icon. Like them so far and I shouldn't have to switch to winter blades with the snow. I did go from the stock 20" to 22".

 

Put Valeo's on and am very happy with them. I had problems with other blades lifting off the windshield slightly at 65 mph and above. Noise drove me nuts. No problems now.

Welfare Wagon tipped me off to a 2 for 1 sale at the Tire Rack.

 

Expensive but work great.

 

I have the Valeo blades and have been very impressed with them. Pricey though.

 

I recently replaced the ones on my wife's Honda Pilot with the Bosch Icon's. They've been there for 1 big rain storm, and they seemed to work really well. But yeah, they're like $20 per blade.

 

Bosch here as well, I haven't encountered a downpour they couldn't cope with.

 

+1 more for Bosch, but I went with 24" on Driver's side and 22" on Passenger side.

 

Thanks for the info. no problems going larger than 20"? Also, do you have a picture of what they look like on the truck?

 

Hi.

Skip the 'Silly-Blades' and the 'Sponge-Bosch Square Pants' item, & go directly to the Michelin's from Costco - they are awesome & very reasonable.

Cheers :santa:

Sorry, don't have a picture. Will try to get one. Yes you can go oversize without it interfering with anything.

The Michelin Optimum and the Bosch Icon are basically the same thing. Wing shaped, no need for winter blades. Only difference I can see is that the mechanism for latching the blade onto the wiper arm is completely enclosed on the Bosch. Open on the Michelin. For winter weather I would rather have it enclosed.

 

I've used Bosch on past vehicles, and they are great. I've used trico too. Right now using Rain-X. No issues.
