    Time to replace wiper blade replacement on a few cars. So, this question is not Tundra specific.
    I also did a search. Most posts were from 2019 or earlier. Quality may have changed.

    The original arms are long gone on some cars. Last time I purchased the Rain-X blades. This was the second time a set of new blades were less than optimal. In fairness, I called Rain-X the first time and with the receipt they replaced the bad blade. But a year ago, another brand-new blade out of the box streaked. So, who wants to go through that?

    So, one year later I am replacing blades on all my cars (and truck).

    Not having the original arms and cost of Toyota arms with blades is leading me to seek other options. I have read Bosch ICON blades are a good option.

    Any recommendations appreciated.

    Yup Icons are what lasts longest in my neck of the woods where avg summer temps are 100+. For my garaged vehicles they last over 5 yrs.

    Clear advantage wiper blades

    DirectConnect

    Evolution

    Focus

    And Aerotwin

    Not particularly sure about hot desert regions, but Michelin wipers at Costco give me
    about 2 1/2 - 3 yrs in BC.
