On my 2011 F250, 24" Bosch Icons do not hit on the edge anywhere whether in movement or stationary. It was a concern of mine as well, as some people were running 24s on the drivers side but 22s on the passengers. I went for the gusto, and there are no interference issues at all. And these blades are the best I've ever owned in 36 years of driving.

Can for the life of me understand this discussion? If truck uses 22 then put 22 on it and done. Why so much confusion? A 6.2 v8 doesn't use a powerstroke injector?

It was originally posted because the book was confusing like I said in the original post. 1999-2008 20" -- 2009-2011 22" ---- 2011-2015 22". But then different brands were listing different lengths too so wanted to see what guys were using.

Why keep a truck stock when you can improve it? More clean viewing area out of a windshield is always a good thing. So why not step up to 24s?

I see no point for the 24s but to each his own.

I'm thinking about getting a extension kit for my windshield to add 30's. Don't want to go over my payload though.

Going down the hwy, the shorter ones seem to work better for me. Maybe less force from the air they hold better to the windshield.

I agree. I've put larger wipers on other vehicles and ran into problems at Highway speed. The blades would lift in the airflow and then smear/streak the windows.
