The front windshield wipers on a 2016 Ford F-150 XLT are typically 22 inches on the driver’s side and 21 inches on the passenger side. A rear wiper is not standard on most trims; if your truck has one, it generally uses a smaller blade around 14 inches. This guide covers the common sizes and how to confirm the exact fit for your specific cab configuration.
Front wiper blade sizes
Before listing the sizes, note that the most common combination for this model year is a 22-inch driver's-side blade and a 21-inch passenger-side blade. Verify against your vehicle’s documentation or a parts diagram to account for any cab-specific differences.
- Driver side: 22 inches
- Passenger side: 21 inches
In practice, you’ll usually purchase a two-blade pair labeled 22" (driver) and 21" (passenger) to ensure a proper fit and coverage. If your vehicle has a different arm design, you may encounter a variant, so always check the packaging for compatibility with your wiper arm type.
How to verify the correct size for your specific truck
To confirm the exact sizes for your truck, measure the current blades or consult the owner’s manual or Ford parts diagrams using your VIN. Different cab configurations (Regular, SuperCab, SuperCrew) can influence blade length, and wiper arms accept specific mount styles (hook, pin, or bayonet).
Rear wiper considerations
Not all 2016 F-150 XLT models include a rear wiper. If your vehicle does have a rear wiper, the blade is generally smaller than the front ones, commonly around 14 inches, but sizes can vary by cab and production year.
- Rear blade: typically around 14 inches (verify for your exact configuration)
Conclusion: If your F-150 does not have a rear wiper, you won’t need a rear blade. If it does, verify the size with the vehicle’s documentation or by measuring the existing blade.
Summary
For a 2016 Ford F-150 XLT, the standard front wiper blades are usually 22 inches on the driver’s side and 21 inches on the passenger side. Rear wipers, when present, are typically about 14 inches, but sizes can vary by cab configuration. Always confirm with the owner's manual or a reliable parts diagram for your exact VIN and trim level.
