26" Michelin Wiper Blades
I use 26" Michelin Wiper Blades.
May not be recommended.
That is what I have on right now.
Note: Go to Walmart and buy a 26" Michelin wiper blade.
Constantly sold out of the upgraded model.

Only replace the rubber blades. Do not replace the holders like most replacement sets will have you do. I've not replaced the '17 Super Duty's yet but on all my previous non-Ford vehicles I could never get replacement holders that matched the contour of the window as good as the OEM factory holders. I'd always end up with a water stripe across the window.

Have always used Rain‑X Latitude blades on mine. 2 inches bigger than what is called for. I havent had to replace mine yet on my 17, but I assume a 2 inch upgrade will work just as well as it did on the last 3 super duties.

I replaced mine after about 8 months. The factory wipers kept leaving a residual line in the middle of the windshield where they would stop. Drove me nuts. Bought the RainX wipers(only wipers I have bought over the last several years) and fixed the residue issue. They wipe and clear the windshield just fine.

If you decide to replace the whole mechanism hang on to the originals.

Same here! One of the first things I do when I buy a new vehicle is to switch to Bosch Icon wiper blades.

Bosch Icons
I followed the 2017 F150.
22A driver and 22B pass. I had already washed and treated glass with rainx so I did not actually "try" them. But they did fit.
