Wiper Blade Size??
What size wiper blade does the Super Duty use?
As always, I go to the parts store and tell them the make/model/etc... This time at NAPA, the guy gives me 20" blades and during the swap-out I notice the old ones measure 22". I head back into the store and he looks it up again only to have his computer still show 20" blades...
Anyone know what the right size might be? The 22" blades seemed to work without any problems, but I kept the 20"ers since I had already installed them on my truck.
Somewhere I was given the wrong blades. Maybe F-250s have 22" blades and 350s have 20". That is where some of that extra 5 pounds comes from!

I went to Ford for replacements and they gave me a larger-than-stock size (22 v. 20). Okay for summer driving, but in the winter I found that the edges (where the windshield is most curved) tended to accumulate snow. I just went and bought some of the sealed winter wipers and they came in the original 20" size. Both work, but I think the 20's do better in winter.

I use 24" blades. Seems to work great for me. The stock size is 20".
It's the old where can we cut cost thing if you ask me. Ford probably saved 25 cents per truck when somebody thought to put smaller blades on.

I would recommend the 24's, bare minimum I'd go with 22's.

I run the 22 winter blades and they've been fine this winter, I had 22s on it from the factory too.
