I had become greatly disappointed in my factory blades (12K miles) as they were streaky and only getting part of the water off. Went and got some Bosch Icons and they made a tremendous difference. You won't be sorry.

My driver side just started skipping after several reconditionings since July. I typically use Bosch Icons but had a coupon for $12 off a set of Trico Neoforms. I hope they turn out to be as good as Icons.

Be careful...
I put Bosch Icons on my previous truck (2010 F150) and the dealer replaced them when it was in for regular maintenance with some factory ones. I picked up the truck after work and noticed my wipers had been swapped. I went right back and had them dig the Icons out of the trash bin! There was nothing wrong with the Icons, in fact they were about 1 month old.

Bosch Icons all the way. Been running my current pair over a year with no issues. make sure you clean the blade when you wash the truck. I run a bug-sponge along the edges to make sure any residue is cleaned off. Work like day 1.

Ive run the Bosch before on my cars and I really do like them.
A couple things that I've found to help a lot is to wipe the blades down (OEM blades) with a paper towel after a car wash or after a couple fill ups. When I'm waiting for that 36 gallon tank to fill Ill grab a couple paper towels and wipe the blades, the paper towels are always full of dirt even after a couple weeks.
Second, in the winter I lift the blades off the windshield if I know its going to snow and the truck is outside, helps stop them from freezing to the windshield.
These 2 things have helped keep the OEM blades working well for a lot of miles on my vehicles.

I totally agree with maintaining the blades, my problem is that the quick lane at the dealer threw on different blades then what came with the truck. They seem like a cheap version, looks like I will need to go with the Bosch or Rain-X.

wiper blade replacement?
Love the truck, the OEM wiper blades leave a lot to be desired though.
Wondering if others have felt the same and replaced, what did you go with?
Thanks for your time.
