    Also, for the air freshener, is it 2WD or 4WD?

    I recommend Bosch Icon's. I started using them long before I bought the Tundra and they hold up better than anything else I've tried. The dealer replaced the wipers on the Tundra when I bought it. The OEM wipers lasted 6 months. The same set of Icon's has been on it since then. The Icon's on my wife's car and my daughter's car are still working fine after 2+ of years. I really can't remember the last time I changed them, but it's been a while.

    I saw a video by Scotty kilmer on youtube where he went on and on about how silicone wipers are the best. I haven't tried them yet but I will be checking some out for my next set.

    My tundra is new, but Bosch icon has been crap for me on f150 in the past. Much prefer trico or oem. Bosch work great in heavy precipitation, but before that they have skipped and streaked IME.

    That's strange...I have been using the rainx blades for as long as I remember on all my vehicles and have had great luck with them. I like the rain repellant coating actually.

    I 16th Bosch icons, purchased a pair this last Fall. They have held up great this harsh Winter in Jackson, WY. Had a pair of Rain X wipers before that. They were great for a month, then went to shit! Don't buy them, unless you like to throw away money. Bosch Icons are tried and true.

    I actually really like the OEM Toyota wiper blades. They seem to be about as good as any. I go to the dealer parts counter and just get the rubber insert. They are only $7 to $8 dollars and get well over a year at least with no streaking.

    Aftr trying several different brands, I've about decided you can't do much better than the OEM blades.

    OEM blades??? New truck February 23rd - my OEM blades have sucked from the start. Skipping, noisy as hell, streaks - complete pieces of shit. Are all OEM blades the same on these trucks? Are there regional differences? Mine are so bad I'd rather hang out the window and wipe the glass off myself.

    Going to switch to Bosch Icons are Tricos soon. It's really sad that on a truck with less than 2500 miles I'm forced to change the blades out already.....they are worthless.

    I just bought two Michellin wiper blades from Costco, passenger side fits, drivers side doesn't fit by just a millimeter, it will not snap in.

    When people come to counter to ask, we get vehicle info, I show them the list on the screen, 80% want the cheapest priced ones, we always stocked with Bosch they too pricey, then we have Rain-X, then AZ Duralast house brand, then Value Craft (cheapest)

    I believe Bosch is the best right now. Valeo isn't what it use to be...

    I use the orange rainx wiper fluid. Best stuff there is. Very seldom turn on wipers on highway.
