    What is everyone using for wiper blades? Mine are the ones came from the dealership when I bought the truck. They lasted about a year

    I still have the OEM ones and they work great. I clean them everytime I wash my truck, it really makes a difference. I won’t need new set of wipers for at least a couple more years.

    Sitting kinda high in the cab, I was a bit annoyed at the stock blade sizes, so I swapped in 24in (left) and 22in (right) low profile beam-type blades. A lot more view now.

    A minor trim of the right corner rubber trim piece was needed.

    I tried some aftermarket ones, but they don't work as good as the oem ones. I'm sticking with that.

    I just bought a set of Bosch Icon last week from Amazon. So far so good (rained two or three times since and they've done better than my old set).

    Bosch Icons are some of the best. In my opinion they're better than Rain-X

    The Toyota replacement blades (that fit the stock frames) are the most affordable option, and vastly superior to any aftermarket product, at any price point. Go to the dealer and get the refills. Also pick up the Toyota windshield fluid at the same time, which also trumps all other options in price and performance.

    This is best bet.
    My buddies that are dealer techs always warn folks, Don't buy/replace the factory arms, just buy the inserts
    It's never failed me
