Wipers

What size are the wiper blades?

 

Seriously? You have Internet access. This took 45 seconds.


In your defense, I had planned on an even more scathing flame post with page and screenshot of the manual, but fuck me if the blade sizes aren't in there. WTF Toyota?

 

To be fair I looked up the '16 in autozone's website and it came up with sizes from 17" to 24". . .

Oreilly and Advance Auto came up with a consensus of 20" and 22" Rain-X were the only ones that consistently showed 21" instead of 20"

 

If I was at home I'd simply take a tape measure to them.

 

I did alot, but not enough research to find the size only to get different numbers from different sources and actually took a yardstick to them and was getting 21 1/2 on one side. Repeatedly. But thanks for the answer i was looking for

 

Does anyone buy premium wiper blades? I don't ever recall seeing someone mention swapping out their OEM blades as being their first mod in their build thread.

 

The oem blades are actually pretty good. Maybe his are just worn already?

 

I buy all mine at Costco. Way cheaper.

 

Did you guys ever figure out what size ? I need new ones, my stock ones are shot from all of the snow we got here.

 

@CaptAmerica
You handled this very diplomaticaly last time.

22" driver side / 21" passenger side

Please use Google or another search engine or simply the Toyota website next time. Items like these are easily found. Threads like this get bumped up to the top when others with more significant issues that need help get their threads dropped down as a result.

Sorry about that, thank you for the feedback!

 

Is it an automatic or manual?

 

haha auto should we just burn the truck then?

 

Except they are 20 and 22"... only changed mine 4 times so far. Was going nutty because the oem wipers dragged water back on the windshield when they began to return. So i tried anco a series blades. Same thing happened. Tried anco contour blades. Barely better. Tried bosch icons. Getting closer. Last attempt was the trico force. They did what a wiper should. Clear the windshield, keep it clear, can clean windshield at highway speeds and dont ice up. They are expensive though.

Disclaimer: i sell car parts so it wasnt a big or expensive ordeal.

 

After trying a few different aftermarket brands of wipers I will only buy the OEM at the dealership now. ALL the other ones skipped across the windshield of my truck

 

@brich999 so just to confirm they are 20 and 22?

 

Yes. But you can usually go up or down an inch without issue

 

Roger, I just ordered the Rain X ones in a 21 and 22 accd to the website. Would you suggest changing my order to the 20?
