For the 2011 Ford Expedition, the standard front wipers are 24 inches on the driver’s side and 20 inches on the passenger side, with a 12-inch rear wiper. This configuration provides full coverage for most driving conditions.
Front Wiper Blade Sizes
Front wipers on the Expedition use two different blade lengths. The driving side needs extra coverage due to the driver's field of view, while the passenger side uses a slightly shorter blade. The following list shows the two standard sizes you’ll want to replace.
- Driver’s side blade: 24 inches
- Passenger’s side blade: 20 inches
These measurements reflect the vehicle’s original equipment and are widely used in aftermarket replacements for the 2011 Expedition. If you see different lengths in a kit, double-check the packaging for compatibility with the wiper arm connector on your vehicle.
Rear Wiper Blade Size
The rear window uses a single, shorter blade designed to clear the smaller, vertical rear glass. The standard size for a 2011 Expedition is shown below.
- Rear blade: 12 inches
Rear wiper blades of 12 inches are commonly available and fit the stock mounting on most Expedition models from that year. If your vehicle has a different rear blade length, verify the model year and trim in the owner’s manual or with a parts retailer.
How to Replace Your Wipers
Replacing the front and rear blades is straightforward and can be done with basic tools. Follow these general steps, and consult your owner's manual for model-specific instructions.
- Raise the wiper arm away from the windshield to expose the blade connector.
- Release the old blade by pressing the release tab or sliding the connector as required by the blade type.
- Attach the new blade, ensuring the connector clicks securely into place on the wiper arm.
- Lower the arm back to the windshield and test the wipers for proper operation and clearance.
Tip: For icy conditions, consider winter-rated blades or beam-style blades designed for better performance. Also verify the rear wiper keeps the tailgate glass clear, especially in cold or wet climates.
Summary
The 2011 Ford Expedition uses 24-inch driver-side and 20-inch passenger-side front wiper blades, plus a 12-inch rear blade. These lengths are widely used by OEM replacements and aftermarket kits. Always measure or confirm with your owner's manual or parts retailer if your trim has a different configuration, and replace blades in pairs where possible for balanced performance across the windshield.
