Wiper Blade Length ???

While 23" blades do exist, there tend to be less options overall. For example, of the 3 you listed here, only one is a single beam design, the others being "standard/conventional" blades. Those blades may work for you in more temperate climates, but they are less than idea in places with snow and ice as they tend to cake up much faster.

Makes sense. I didn't dig too far into any of them, just the first few that popped up when I did a quick search. I guess when my stockers wear out then I'll have to research a bit more.
 
I just changed the wiper blades for the first time on my 2022. The size is not in the manual, but all manufacturers state that it should be a 22" blade for both driver and passenger side.
When I changed them, I noticed the OEM/noname blades are a bit longer, not 24" (which would be a common size), more like 23".

Sure, the 22" work well, but what size are you guys putting on your trucks? Do 24" fit or will they contact the windshield frame?

Just curious.

Thanks!

I went through this and in the end I have two 24” wipers and they work great.

Wiper Blade Length???

What length wiper blades are you using? When I went my to buy wiper Autozone showed both 22” & 24” work. I went with a 24” on the drivers side and 22” on the passenger side.

Must have missed that thread, thanks!
Like I said, just curious, and surprised that RAM fits them with very unusual 23" from the factory.
 
I have several sets of 24" Bosch Icon blades left over from my 04 that I fully intend to use. I chickened out the first time and bought OEM (cheap off ebay Mopar dealer). I'm going to install a set today and if I have to, will trim the edge end.

My only concern using longer blades would be if the windshield curvature is such that they don't make good contact on the passenger side lower 1/3. I doubt adding 1" to each end matters.

The passenger side when it first starts moving up may not have complete contact, but does after moving up a few inches.
 
I go to shorter wipers on all my vehicles in the winter for that reason.
