Wiper Blades

I swear they are putting something in the windshield washer fluid these days. It doesn’t matter what brand you buy. They all seem to last 1/2 of the time they use to. Probably made it more environmentally friendly at the cost of rubber and silicone wipers. Or cheapening out on the ingredients so they can charge more.
 
The OEM wipers lasted 10 months before they were streaky and squeeky
Have been running the TRICO Silicone Ceramic™ (90-2222) 22 Inch for 7 months.

So far they are quiet, wipe well, time will tell about longevity.

Anyone have experience with Scrub Blade wipers?

Replacement Wiper Blades

Scrubblade wiper blades replace worn out wiper blades for vehicles, trucks, cars, buses, tractors and anything with a windshield. Unlike any other premium brand, our wipers feature 2 blades, one for scrubbing the windshield from debris and another for wiping it clear.

I've been trying to work with them for a special group buy price.

I have them on both my Explorer and Tremor - I used to buy the Bosch Icons and the Icons lasted a very long time. If you look around the net you can usually find the Scubblade for less (Walmart had them for 19.50). So far I like the Scrubblade's (it's been 7 months on the Explorer), they are as good as the Icons but we will see how long they last.

My 2023 Trenor has reached the end of the OEM wiper blades actually wiping off the windshield. Can anyone on here recommend at great replacement blade? There's too many out there to try & decide on so was hoping some of you could narrow it down to just a few different ones. Thank ya

I've always used Bosch icons of course we have winter for 5 months out of the year
 
One of the first things I do with my vehicles is to replace OEM with PIAA. For the Tremor, I put on PIAA 97055 (22") Si-Tech Silicone for driver and passenger. I've always had good luck with PIAA. Tire Rack usually has the best fitment guide, although if you put in Tremor specifically, it says that there aren't any matching products - just use regular F-150. Amazon has them, but if they're on sale from Tire Rack, it pays for the shipping. I like the included silicone wipe-down packet prep with the PIAAs. None of the wipers are going to last beyond a year though. On a related note, I had an issue on my Jeep where the Rain-X windshield washer fluid (orange junk) clogged the low fluid sensor. That was fun to drain and fix. I've avoided anything Rain-X just because of that. I''m not the first with that problem and the sensor clogging.

I had an issue with the headlight washers gunking up on my Land Cruiser not long after I bought it and had refilled the washer reservoir with the orange Rain-X stuff. It may have been responsible for a little partial clogging on my previous Grand Cherokee as well now that I think about it, plus it leaves a slightly hard to wash off residue at the edges of the windshield. I quit using that stuff a couple years ago and have good results just using the cheap blue Super Tech -20f rated stuff from Wal-Mart in everything now.
None of the +32f "bug cleaner" formulas seem to do anything significant and the risk of damage if winter comes and I forget to run down the reservoir in a truck just isn't worth the risk. Winter stuff for me year round, I just stock up when it goes on sale.

I always replace with OEM blades as they seem to work the best and last the longest but I'm sure there are plenty of other strong opinions.
 
Picked up some Scrubblade black's for evaluation. Out of the box, they're streak free. But let's see what the Vegas sun does to them.
 
Scrubblade Blacks are working alright so far, although the lower drivers side doesn't maintain good contact when you're going 80+, so you don't get a clean wipe down there. Somewhat annoying.
 
I've had great luck with Bosch Icons on a number of vehicles. If those doin't suit you or you can't find them; honorable mention goes to Rain-X. It sounds like a few owners have had issues with the orange Rain-X fluid; I've had great luck with it and buy it for all of my vehicles. I find that treating my windshield with such things aids in the wiper's performance.

I see the Michelin wipers mentioned from Costco; I do not recommend those. At all. While they've lated, they streak and squeak not long after install.
 
I pick up my 2021 in 9 days, and i live in BFE so closest town is half hour away. Small town, the wiper books are all torn at O'Reilly and walmart. That said, can anyone tell me the size blades i need? Someone mentioned 22" for both, but wasnt sure if that was valid for the 2021. Thanks in advance!
I have appx 24 hours of driving to do over 3 days starting the day after i get truck, so i want to make sure i am good before i go.

I went with 24's on mine like @captain lead foot had mentioned on another thread. It works great, minor upgrade, but an upgrade that didn't cost anything extra. Went with the Bosch Icon "24A's" btw. I have a '23 though, so it might be different for yours, just fyi.

Squeeky after 10 months, can't recommend the TRICO Silicone anymore.

Welcome to the club.

I had the same issue with top of the line Bosch and Michelin Silicone blades and both brands started skipping and chattering after 3 months.

I finally wised up and just replaced them with OEM Ford wipers in the blue box not the Motorcraft replacements.
