Go to Rockauto and get the OEM replacement Trico's, $16 a pair.

Or from Fordownercom you can get a pair installed for $19.95.

I wouldn't put that Motorcraft garbage on my truck, it's about the only thing Motorcraft sells that is worthless. Damn things are junk and what kind of mechanic would I be if I had to get someone to change them lol.

I get two free sets of wipers a year under my maintenance plan so I just go with whatever the dealership is using.

Rockauto.com I've never spent more than $3-4 per blade and they are top of the line blades.

I do miss the old single blade only refill. I generally go with Trico or other similar brand for $12-$15 per blade assembly these days. We have an annual state inspections and one of the ways the businesses run up a bill is to fail you on wiper blades. I just go ahead a day or two before the inspection and replace what's on the car. It is cheaper than the inspection shop and avoids the inconvenience of doing it myself and have to go back for a re-inspection.

The 14 I had sat on the dealers lot a year before I got it, and I drove it for a year and a half before replacing the blades at 50K miles. They had just started streaking.
