Windshield Wiper Blade Sizes - Mixed Information

[00fil00]

Hi there,

What is the official consensus on what a 5th gen ram 1500 new body 2021 windshield wiper blade size should be? Here is what I've been told today:

-Canadian Tire - 22" driver, 19" passenger (they say their database is from the manufacturer)
-Online websites and forums everyone says 24" for both
-Dealership says 22" for both.

3 different answers.

My 2020 is 24" driver and 21" passenger. I run the Bosch 24A21A.

Here's how I do it.
1. Get tape measure.
2. Measure length of driver side wiper.
3. Measure length of passenger side wiper.
4. Buy replacements that are same length as measured above.
Works every time.

Yep that would be passable, but who knows what the previous driver installed, and I'm asking what the official RAM specs are, not what my previous owner did.

Oh.
I've been using 22-inch blades for both since the first wiper replacement: 22 inches was the length of the shorter of the two, so I knew it would fit either position.
I still get good coverage, and a 24-inch wiper, which I think was the longer one, is only an inch longer at each end, so the difference isn't really significant.
My owner's manual doesn't state wiper replacement sizes (not that I could find, anyway) so I guess it's back to measuring. . . .

Official RAM spec. I wonder if anyone actually has that. Would be interesting to know.

My first set of OEM blades lasted me 4-5 years, loved them, essentially streak free the whole time. I bought another factory set and very happy with them. This is the only set of blades I didn't go aftermarket with because they are so good.
