[Monark]

I am at 11,300 miles on my Lariat . Curious as to stock longevity and as winter approaches wondering what wipers you have had great experience with.

When shopping, keep in mind that the parent company (First Brands) to Anco, Trico and Michelin branded wipers went bankrupt earlier this year and finding some of those branded wipers will be difficult and old stock when found.

I got like 6 mo out of factory ones , ended up with bosch focus blades beyond happy with them and fit like oe

I'm at 2.5 years and 46k miles on the original wipers.
I don't recommend that. The wipers are basically for show. Replacing them with my next oil change if they make it that long. Or I'll just have the guys throw a set on if they get a free minute or two.
Then again, I was on my original cabin air filter as well. Also don't recommend that. After all the wildfire and pollen this year, it was well beyond time. It's nice having a shop I actually trust with my vehicle now.

I've used Bosch wipers for roughly the last 20+ years on multiple vehicles and while they're a tad more expensive, they seem to last relatively longer than other brands. When mine quit, I'm going with Bosch for the Mav... I have a ways to go as I only have 3k miles on this )

I use what's on sale. Sun here kills them in about 6 months, no matter what brand they are, so use them till they are toast and put on a new pair.

I use Aero. I think about 20 bucks and they send a refill set along with the full set. Somebody on this site recommended them and I bit. I change out way too early but that's me. I'd rather be able to see out the windshield than see streaks. Easy to change.

I have a 23 XL Hybrid. The OEM wiper blades were the best I have ever had. At 25,500 and three years they still were good . I went in for a state inspection and battery check at the dealer I bought from.
I had gotten a flier in the mail for service specials which included Ford wiper blade, 2 for $20. I figured the originals had to fail soon so I Had them put them on and so far they seem great.

I have used the Bosch Icon on all my vehicles for many many years. IMO their excellent and have always given me a long service life. However, I need buy a few pairs of the factory motorcraft replacements when I bought the truck just to use up my remaining ford pass points. Surprisingly they have held up fairly well.

We get so little rain in this hot, dry climate that I've given up on replacing both wipers.

when we get a rain, I put a new wiper on the driver's side, and move the old one to the passenger side.

Sometimes, but not often, it's still usable a few months later when it rains again. Then I celebrate!

Bosch...or Rain-X. Don't look back.

I have been good at putting the Mav in the garage out of the sun. Wipers are lasting somewhat longer. The F-250 won't fit in the garage so they are still 6 month give or take. We just finished our 32 consecutive day over 100°, so that's how it goes.
