Best Wiper Blades
I have set of Anco 24" wiper blades on my truck now, but I don't think they are any good anymore. What brand does everybody use? I don't want to pay a rediculous amount for them, but I am willing to pay for something that will last. Thanks!

I swear by Bosch Icon wipers; I've got them on all my cars and have managed to convert most all my friends and family to them. They are incredibly quiet, clean extremely well, and last quite a long time.

I've been running a pair of the Icons on my F250 for a year now... 21,000 miles in this past year. They've seen extreme heat from our high Southern temps and frog-strangling downpours.
I've never had a pair of wiper blades work as well as these. After what I've described above, the passenger blade is beginning to show a tiny bit of smearing in a small zone, but that clears away completely once they've been wiping rain away for about 2 minutes. Aside form that, still no chatter and perfectly clean wipes.
I want to replace the ones on my truck with the 24" blades (they're the stock 20" size right now), but I just can't justify the expense with them still working as well as they are, which is still almost like brand new.
I also have the 24" blades on my Ecursion, and they're even more impressive due to the extremely large area they clean with those extra 4 inches.

I have 22" Icons on my truck. Like everyone else said, they work great.
The Michelin brand wiper blades would be my second pick. I had them on my 95 F150, they work very well and last a long time.

Thanks for all the replies everybody, I think I will look around and find some Bosch Icons to put on my truck. It seems to be the consensus those are the best!

Bosch icons. put them on my truck and then the wifes car. about $50 for the pair, but well worth it. Had the icons on the truck since December '06. perform well here in the northwest where we get our share of rain and snow.

Thanks to all for the recommendation on the Bosch Icons. I just put a set on my truck tonight - what a big difference. I also switched to 24" wipers. Why didn't Ford do that from the factory?

+1 on the 24" Bosch Icons - they really are worth the $$. To answer your "why didn't ford...", well, there are a lot of things that Ford could have/should have done with the F250. This is just another entry on the list! I just shake my head sometimes that most car manufacturers avoid "accessory" parts that work too good - they figure that you will just come back and buy the branded junk from the dealer.
