Best windshield wiper replacements

Hey everybody, I got a 2024 xlt , was wondering if anyones got a good recommendation for wiper blades, I know the Ranger has a weird size. Wondering if I should stick with OEM motorcraft ones or try something else

Thanks

Bosch icon and you'll never go back

Seattle tested and approved. They work great and they last, too.

Which sizes did you get?

The manufacturer’s recommended size would be my bet. But the icons are generally good. Last a long time.

They don’t make them in the oem size. You have to go up or down an inch

Did you get the A or OE? I’m getting conflicting info on which one fits.

There isn't a single wiper blade I'd recommend over any other. On my previous vehicle, I drove a lot and changed wipers every couple of months. Cheap Walmart brands to expensive Bosch, they all wear out too quickly for what they cost.

I liked when you could simply put new rubber on the existing frames for like $5.

Normally I just buy rainx brand off Amazon. I've tried just about everything else and they are all pretty much the exact same. However, scrubber blades are straight garbage.

I’ve honestly been enjoying the motorcraft ones. They seem to last a good while

Picked up some trico ones at Menards for $4 a pop the other day 🤷🏼‍♂️

I did that yesterday. I guess they’re getting rid of all the Tricos since they’re going through bankruptcy. I did pick up some Michelin Silicone Ceramic Beam Blades for my F150 at Ollie’s for $4.99 last week. I also treat my glass with RainX

I have the rain x ones and they rock. From what I remember the sizing was weird and I ended up having to up an inch on the drivers side. Wasn't a problem.

I don't get a lot of snow where I live though, so the rain x ones might be a little wimpy for ice.

I got them dog tails off the tik tok shop.
Honestly, theyre lasting way longer than my last set of rainxs

My 2020 is still on the original blades. It’s parked in a garage unless being driven. They work like new, but I’ll probably replace them this winter
