Toyota Pickup Windshield Wiper Systems

Windshield wipers are an important safety component of any vehicle. When Toyota pickup drivers need new windshield blades or parts, they can choose from a wide array of OEM and aftermarket options. The windshield wiper system is made up of several parts, which are all necessary to keep the windshield clear of rain and debris.

What are the components of the windshield wiper system?

As vehicle technology has progressed, wiper operation has transitioned from a hand-cranked system to the motor-based system. The following parts are standard on all Toyota pickups. When the system starts to malfunction, its likely caused by one of these components.

  • Wiper blades: The windshield wiper blades are responsible for getting rid of any moisture on the windshield. The wiper blades are attached to other system components that drag the blades back and forth across the windshield in a sweeping motion.
  • Wiper arm: On one side, the arms are connected to the wiper blades. On the other, theyre connected to the transmission. The arm ensures that the movement of the wiper blades is unencumbered, allowing the blades to reach as far as possible.
  • Wiper transmission: The transmission determines the movement of the wiper arms.
  • Fluid pump: When drivers have dirty windshields, they spray them with wiper fluid and activate the windshield wipers. The pump sprays out the appropriate amount of wiper fluid. This pump is connected to a series of tanks and tubes that direct the cleaning agent to the appropriate location.
  • Wiper motor: The motor is responsible for powering all the other components from the wiper transmission to the pump.
  • Interior Controls for Windshield Wipers: In most pickups, the interior controls for the windshield wipers are located on a control arm to the left of the steering wheel.
Which wiper blades are compatible with your Ford pickup?

When choosing wiper blades for a pickup, you shouldnt automatically choose the standard option. There are several types of blades, and you should opt for the style that best suits your driving experience.

  • Standard wiper blades: Standard windshield wiper blades are usually made of metal and rubber. They are sturdy and reliable, and theyre usually sufficient for car owners who simply want to protect their windshields from rain.
  • Winter wiper blades: Drivers who want to prepare their vehicles for winter weather may want to choose winter wiper blades, which are coated with a protective covering. This wiper blade covering ensures that these blades dont become brittle when exposed to low temperatures and that they dont freeze to the glass during storms.
  • Beam wiper blades: Beam windshield wiper blades provide uniform pressure on the windshield, which can enhance performance. While standard wiper blades have external frames and attached rubber components, beam wiper blades are made of spring steel and rubber.
