Just thought to shear this with every body.

Your local auto parts place should have a book.

I just looked up the make and model of the truck and it tells you what you need. 19in seems small, I think mine were 20in.

I got the newer on piece style with Rain X built into them. They work great in the rain and snow.

I thought I'd be conservative with it, and only got 21's. Wish I would have got a bigger driver side. The passenger side far edge doesn't seem to make good contact, so next time I may downgrade back to 20 on pass. side and upgrade to 23 or 24 on driver side.

X3 here! Love these wipers!

I am thinking about repositioning my wiper arms on the shaft a notch or two. I put 22" wipers on & get a much better wiped surface area. On the drivers side if I go up a bit I think it will clear more area on the left which I would like... just gotta not go up too much & interfere with my view. On the passenger side it will allow the wiper to park better & not be hanging off the windshield when stopped.

Don't be afraid to go up a few inches in wiper lengths! It can work just fine!
