WHY THE @!#$ ARE THEY DIFFERENT
Why is one a 22 and the other a 18? Just wondering what the reasoning behind this was
Uhh... all new cars are like that. Even my 85 Mercury Capri had a larger driver's side wiper.

thats the way god made it i suppose.

Isn't it because of the cab forward design? Or maybe because of the curve of the windshield?

iv never ever seen it before. Then again i usually am around trucks and suvs
i think it's got something to do with the windshield's angle that it sits at.

If you put both 18's, it'll fit... you just won't clear as much.
The wiper arms are different lengths too. It's because the driver's side wiper sweeps farther over than the passenger's side. It's been like that on cars with swept back windshields since the early 90's.

EXACTLY! It's to give the driver a wider field of vision that is clear and uninterrupted. It's safer. I prefer it this way, to be honest.

i could care less it just bugs me that the books all say there both 22s when you go to buy them. I looked at it and was like wow thats def an 18
like you said, Roscoe, don't sweat the small stuff.
pirates kick ninja asses, f00
what books have you been reading? its usually listed pass. and driv. sides seperately. you can go an inch bigger on either side to clear more windshield usually.
14.82 @ 97 mph
lol thanks faln. Not a huge deal just something i wondered. The books in autozone or walmart list both sides but both sides say 22. So i bought them and went to put them on and i was like wtf..lol
