Wiper Blades

[kpkot]

Best truck wiper blades. Dont mind spending the money if they are quality and durable.  Any first hand suggestions?

I've been a fan of the bosch ICON , i really like the "beam" style blades . Some other companies have a beam style blades as well. I try to never buy a trico product.

I just ordered Trico Ultra blades for my wife's SUV. They are the only ones made in the USA, FWIW. They were pricey, but still cheaper than from the dealer. Can't directly vouch for them as I haven't used them yet.

Kevin, I just had to buy a pair for my truck last Friday.  I stopped at Advance Auto right away as the blade started to de-laminate (for lack of a better term) and the guy behind the counter said the expensive ones weren't worth it.......the ones I got were $37 out the door for the pair.  Not the cheapest but not the most expensive, FWIW.

dont spend a bunch on wiper blades - better off replacing them every 6 months from summer to winter.  No matter how much you spend on wipers they will get dirty and torn up in the winter - dont expect your wipers to last a year no matter if they are cheap or expensive - go mid price and replace every 6 months or every other oil change.

Rain X wiper blades, washer fluid.

Just put the Bosch Envision on the truck.   Not sure what I had on before but they lasted 4yrs.

Been using only rain x wiper fluid for a number of years , you almost don't even need wipers . I use the rain x window coating a couple times a year as well.

Me Too. I just replace the blades each spring. Just bought a new set for about $20. They work great, as does the washer fluid.

I buy  the michelin beam type at Walmart and they work great. There like $8 each .

seems like i don't buy them very often at all. Rain-X is what i usually end up getting i think. maybe the beam style it's definitely not up their with the higher end ones cost wise. I use the rain-x washer fluid when i can find it on sale when a place is over stocked. every now and then i wipe them off to clean them and don't turn them on with a iced or heavily frosted up windshield. seem to last a long time and work just fine. don't jump skip across the windshield but still gets it all.

why someone would buy simple stuff like this at a dealership and when they say it's bad, only to get wallet raped is beyond me. most places auto stores that are cheaper typical install the stuff for free if you buy it there if you need help.

That’s my dog’s name....and also the name of a trout fly that I hooked (and lost-gut punch!) the largest trout of a trip to Montana years ago. The fly, not the wiper blade, is where his name came from.
