Does anyone have a recommendation for new windshield wiper blades?

Or reviews on ones not to get for the ranger?

Many times it's really good to know what NOT to get. That always helps me a bunch when getting stuff for my truck.

Brands? No.
But out here in AZ he silicone blades tend to last longer and resist baking on to the glass. They are more $$$ obviously and harder to find but they do work.

No matter the replacement blade you choose, be sure to put a towel down on the windshield. If that wiper arm should happen to fall unto the windshield without a blade attached...

OUCH!!!?

I’ve had the best results from the Bosch blades.

YES! There is a whole thread on that accident!

I am pretty anal about replacing blades regularly. I do it when the time changes - yes 2x per year. I figure that gives me fresh blades going into winter and fresh blades for spring.

I use Rain-X Latitude 5079274-2 and 5079281-2

I actually really like Motorcraft's blades. Can usually get the OEM blades on RockAuto or Amazon for next to nothing.

I just stick with the OEM wipers on my truck. They do just fine especially for someone who see rain once every two uears like you

Bosch Icon for me, pricey but they work great and last.

Where I live, there is no snow and little rain (unfortunately). I use the Bosch Icons on all of my vehicles and they last at least 2 years and sometimes 3.

I've used two sets of RainX with good results...

I was researching the same thing a couple days ago and found this site and decided to give them a try. With a 100 day test drive what is there to lose?

That's $10 cheaper than my RainX Latitude...do let us know how it works out?
