Auto Wipers, Ohhhhhhh

[Dr. Zaius]

I can confirm that my 302A does NOT have rain sensing wipers.

My Jeep has them and they work pretty great on it.

I have the tech package. I went to Ford. com just a little while ago, built a XLT Ranger with 302a and tech package. No Auto-wipers.
Did you go into your Settings as shown on a prior post, and does it show "Rain Sensing"?

i could be wrong. Hasn’t rained in GA in a month, so I may be misremembering! My other car has them, so I must be confusing the two. Carry on…..

First click up on the stalk is the auto position.

Wow I have to try this!

I didn’t think I’d like auto wipers but now I have come to really enjoy them. I just find I have to adjust the sensitivity slightly depending on the rain. If it’s super light mist I keep it on the lowest sensitivity setting to avoid it wiping excessively. If it rained harder the first setting will lag behind and leave your vision obstructed for a little too long. This is where I use the medium setting. Never have I put the wipers in the most sensitive setting nor have I felt the need to.

My only complaint about the RSW is that it usually wipes once when I start up in the mornings - and I park inside. So it just does that one wipe on a dry and likely dirty windshield. But everything else about them, I like.

Also XLTs with tech package.

i think mine has that, courtesy wipers or something like that.

The courtesy wipe is a single delayed wipe after they shut off like after you wash. Not the same as auto wipers.

my first exp with auto wipers was getting a slight spray of mist from a passing truck, about five mins before that a big fat juicy bug hit the windsheild.

ahh ok.

You have to have the Tech Package with the XLT.

I do have the Tech package... (March 2021: 302A, Tech package, FX2)
I don't have the "A" (for auto) on my wiper stalk either. It's not there.

XLT's can not have rain sensing wipers, regardless of package.
I believe this is consistent with the order guide as well.

Ah, I have the low-tech 300A XLT package…

I’m starting to think I’m the only XL guy here.

There are a bunch of you - I see a lot of steelies on avatars - almost a tell….almost. You’re in good company Fritz.

Auto Wipers available ONLY on Lariat

 

[Megawatt]

All these post about if you have them or not. If you don’t have a camera in front of your rear view mirror then you definitely do not have RSW. That is how the truck “senses” the rain.

If you’re talking about what I think you are the camera is standard. My xl truck uses it for the emergency braking .

 

[Motorpsychology]

I didn't even know these trucks came with this. My truck definitely doesn't have it.

It's a Lariat thing (501A High pkg). There are settings in the Driver Info Display
