I would go with the 24" ones. I didnt get 24" ones because they were out and didnt feel like driving to another parts store to get them thats why I bought the 22" ones.

Thanks. I was wondering if resistance of the larger blades would load the motors.

Good read guys. I have to change mine tomorrow also. It will be the 22 inch. The ones I have now don't have the down force they should. I thought it was just the wiper, we'll see. Going to Wyoming next week, want to make sure they work well.

I just installed my 22" BOSCH ICON wipers. BOY, what a difference!! I guess the 4 year old ones were pretty shot...not dangerous yet....but well on their way...
THESE were $48.00 tax included at Autozone (got them for 50% LAST TIME 4 years ago on sale) but thats just it-they lasted 4 years!! nice clean wipers for 4 years....and the $5.00 Ancos that Walmart sells don'r even make it a year! I did the math and the ICONS for me are well worth the extra $$ for the way they work and now the 22" ones are even better!!

My wife was at walmart and I said can u pick me up some 22" wiper blades. She brought home some of the new style bosch wipers like the new trucks come with. They had a little wing on them that helped to catch more air and create more downforce. They lasted longer than other wipers have ever. I always bought Anco before but now I look for those when I buy.
