Windsheld Wipers

Freightliner uses Alliance parts are those are pretty good

Rain-X washer fluid and whatever blade you want to buy. With the rain-x washer fluid you can run down the highway in a heavy rain without any wipers running.

Whatever Costco has when they go on sale. Maybe Goodyear? I can't remember exactly.

X2 Currently they have a Michelin model that works well for me.

I used to run the Costco wipers when they were the beam type, but when they switched to the "hybrid" which just appears to me to be a regular wiper with a solid cover over it to make it look like a beam type. I bought one set and used them about a month before getting rid of them.

The last ones I got were the Rain-X Latitude 2 n 1 (they were on sale) and have been very happy with them. No streaking, chatter, or lifting at higher speeds. Supposedly, they transfer Rain-X coating from the blades to the windshield. These are on my wife's van that is new to us and I haven't coated the windshield before. I do notice the water beading up as if it has been coated so I guess it works to a degree.

Have had them about 4 months so still a little early for a final thumbs up, but so far so good.

Motorcraft from the dealer. Not much price difference and I know they fit.

Whatever is on sale.

I have Rain-X wipers on my pickup and SUV and am very happy with them. Put some on my MH and they were terrible. I just replaced the wiper arms on the MH because one broke and still have the Rain-X wiper blades on the new arms. Will see if the new arms make a difference.

I ran Costco Michelin wipers for years because I am generally a fan of Michelin tires and rarely get anything bad at Costco. It seemed like I was having to replace them fairly often and they really weren't that great.... but since that is all I was running I really didn't realize just how bad they were.

I got some Rain-X for all 3 vehicles and was absolutely blown away at how much better they are. I've also heard great things about Bosch but haven't tried them.

And don't just take my word for it - 50 reviews on Costco site for a whopping 2.5 out of 5 stars.

I tried them on my truck during the winter of 2018 and they were just the worst. Amazing a company like that would make such a lousy product.

I've had a lot of junk wipers over the years. Last month I bought a set of Bosch wipers for all our vehicles because reviews were so good. They did not dissapoint. Super smooth, no chattering, streaking and totally quiet.
