    Just go to your local autozone and buy them there instead of waiting for the delivery of your blades, that what i did :D:)

    I'm Thinking...Oh Yeah...An FJ
    It's all in my head at the moment...
    I wish I could figure out your statement of how 4 cylinders and reg.cabs take a different blade size. (of the same model years) ,mine being an '08. I've looked on-line and went to a few auto supply places NAPA, AutoZone, PepBoys and they all say 21"and 22" respectively.

    We are to believe that a Reg Cab and a 4Cyl. have a different windshield and cab design to where the 21" and 22" won't fit? Sounds like a pretty expensive tooling for the factory to have different 'shields and cab configs.


    I'm not questioning you, just asking a question.

    http://www.toyotaownersonline.com/pub-share/pdf/appchart_wiper_blade.pdf

    I got the chart from the Toyota Owner's Site.

    If you look at the Tacoma, the 3 & 4 number indicates size in inches. For example: 85212, 3rd and 4th number is 21 or 21" which is passenger side (525.0mm in size).
    85222, 3rd and 4th number is 22 or 22" which is driver side (550.0mm in size)

    No flag or indication stating 4 cyl or reg. cab.

    Can't really go wrong with either....if my parents let me, I'd actually spend some money to get good blades instead of getting OEM blades from the service department over and over.

    See if the Rain-x link says anything about the 4 cyl. Thats weird though. I would go with 19" first and if their too small then go for the 21" and 22"


    Thats what i sorta did

    Rain-X Latitudes FTW! I've had mine on now for a few months and we all know it rains like a mother here (Seattle). These are great and have worked flawlessly. Got mine for $14.99 each on sale.

    My husband just bought a couple sets of Latitudes - a set for his Acura and my Tacoma. Came with a kit - RainX, microfibre, & cleaning foam spray.
    These things are really neat and work great as first installed.
    I surely hope they last a long time!!
