Ford Ranger Wiper Blade Sizes

This guide helps you find the right windscreen wiper blades for your Ford Ranger. It covers every generation listed here, from the early PJ models through to the latest PX4 Next-Gen. For each one you will see the driver side and passenger side sizes, plus the wiper arm type where that applies. Everything is written in plain English for everyday car owners who just want a clear view of the road.

Wiper sizes differ between generations of the Ford Ranger. The newer PX4 Next-Gen models use different sizes from the PX3, PX2 and PX1, and the earlier PK and PJ models use different sizes again. Because of this, the same blade will not suit every Ranger. Always match the blades to your own vehicle rather than assuming a nearby year will fit.

To use this guide, first work out which generation you have. Then note the driver side and passenger side sizes for that generation. Check the wiper arm type too, because that tells you how the blade attaches. Take your time, match each side carefully, and you will get a clean, quiet wipe every time it rains.

Ford Ranger wiper sizes for each generation

For the PX4 Next-Gen Ute, the driver side takes a 25 inch (625 mm) blade and the passenger side takes a 17 inch (425 mm) blade. These two sides are different sizes, so fit each blade to the correct side. Before you buy, confirm your Ranger is the Next-Gen Ute and not another body style from the same years. When fitting, line the blade up squarely with the arm and listen for the click so you know it is seated.

The PX4 Next-Gen Super Duty uses a 25 inch (625 mm) blade on the driver side and a 17 inch (425 mm) blade on the passenger side. Keep the two sizes separate as you unpack them so they do not get swapped. Check that your vehicle is the Super Duty version before ordering. A good habit is to lift the arm gently and let it rest back on the glass only once the new blade is firmly attached.

On the PX4 Next-Gen Raptor, you need a 25 inch (625 mm) blade for the driver side and a 17 inch (425 mm) blade for the passenger side. The sizes are not the same, so take a moment to match each one to its side. Make sure your Ranger is the Raptor before you buy. After fitting, run the wipers once and check that both blades sweep cleanly without catching.

The PX3 Mk3 takes a 24 inch (600 mm) blade on the driver side and a 16 inch (400 mm) blade on the passenger side. These differ from the newer Next-Gen sizes, so do not mix them up. Confirm your Ranger is a PX3 Mk3 before ordering. When you fit the new blades, press them on until they feel secure, then give the arm a gentle tug to be sure nothing is loose.

For the PX2 Mk2, fit a 24 inch (600 mm) blade to the driver side and a 16 inch (400 mm) blade to the passenger side. The two sides are different lengths, so check each blade against its side as you go. Be sure your vehicle is the PX2 Mk2 and not a nearby generation. Take care not to let the bare arm snap back onto the glass while you are changing blades.

The PX1 Mk1 uses a 24 inch (600 mm) blade on the driver side and a 16 inch (400 mm) blade on the passenger side. Match each size to the correct side before fitting. Confirm you have a PX1 Mk1, since later Rangers use different sizes. When changing blades, hold the arm firmly with one hand while you clip the new blade on with the other so it does not swing down.

On the PK Ranger, both the driver side and the passenger side take an 18 inch (450 mm) blade. Because the sizes match, you can fit the same blade to each side, but still check each one is seated properly. Make sure your vehicle is a PK before ordering. A quick check after fitting is to switch the wipers on and watch for any skipping or lifting at the ends.

The PJ Ranger takes an 18 inch (450 mm) blade on the driver side and an 18 inch (450 mm) blade on the passenger side. The two sides are the same size, which keeps things simple. Confirm your Ranger is a PJ model before you buy. Once both blades are on, lift each arm and let it settle back gently to check the blade sits flat against the glass.

How to work out which Ford Ranger you have

Start by working out which generation of Ford Ranger you drive. The years in this guide give you a good starting point, but also look at the model name shown for each generation, such as PX4 Next-Gen, PX3 Mk3, PX2 Mk2, PX1 Mk1, PK or PJ. If you are unsure, check your vehicle's paperwork or look for the model details on the vehicle itself. Getting the generation right is the most important step, because the sizes change between them.

Once you know your generation, note the driver side and passenger side sizes separately. Some generations use two different sizes, so it pays to keep each blade labelled as you unpack it. Fit the driver side blade first, then the passenger side, checking each one against the list. If a blade does not sit properly, stop and check you have the right size and the right side before trying again.

When to replace your wiper blades

Worn wiper blades show themselves in several ways. You might see streaks of water left behind after each sweep, or a smear that makes the glass harder to see through. Some blades squeak or judder across the windscreen. Others leave patches untouched. Any of these signs means it is time to think about new blades.

Look closely at the rubber edge of each blade. If it is split, cracked, torn or coming away from the frame, it will not clear the glass properly. A blade that has lost its flexibility can skip and chatter. Replacing worn blades is a simple job that makes a real difference to how well you can see.

Clear vision matters for safe driving, especially in rain or spray. Blades that streak or smear can hide hazards, other cars and road markings. If you notice poor visibility when the wipers are on, do not wait. Fit fresh blades and check them again in the rain so you can drive with confidence.

Looking after your wipers

Look after your wipers and they will look after you. Clean the windscreen regularly to remove dust, grit and film that wear the rubber edge. Wipe the blades themselves with a soft cloth now and then. Sun and dust both take a toll on rubber over time, so a little care helps the blades last and keeps the wipe smooth.

When you wash the car, lift the wiper arms off the glass so you can clean underneath them. Do not let them snap back down. Check your washer fluid regularly and top it up so you can clear the screen when you need to. A clean screen and a working washer make every wipe more effective.

Wiper blade tips

• Check your generation before ordering any blades.
• Match each blade to the correct side.
• Fit one side at a time and check it is secure.
• Clean the glass and blades to reduce wear.
• Replace blades at the first sign of streaking or squeaking.
• Keep washer fluid topped up for clearer vision.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which Ford Ranger generation I have?

Use the years and model names in this guide as your starting point. Look for details such as PX4 Next-Gen, PX3 Mk3, PX2 Mk2, PX1 Mk1, PK or PJ on your vehicle or its paperwork. If you are still unsure, check with your local dealer before ordering blades.

Are the driver side and passenger side blades always the same size?

No. Some generations use two different sizes, while the PK and PJ use the same size on both sides. Always check the driver side and passenger side sizes for your own generation and fit each blade to the correct side.

What does the wiper arm type tell me?

It tells you how the blade attaches to the arm. Some Rangers use a push-button arm, where a small button releases the blade. Others use a hook-style arm, where the blade clips onto a curved hook. Check your arm type before buying.

How often should I replace my wiper blades?

There is no fixed number here. Replace them when you notice signs of wear, such as streaking, smearing, squeaking, judder or split rubber. If your view in the rain is poor, fit new blades rather than waiting.

Can I fit the blades myself?

Yes, fitting wiper blades is a simple job for most owners. Work one side at a time, hold the arm so it does not snap back onto the glass, and make sure the new blade clicks or clips firmly into place before you move on.

Why do my new blades still streak?

Check that each blade is the right size for its side and is seated properly on the arm. A dirty windscreen can also cause streaking, so clean the glass. If the problem continues, look closely at the rubber edge for damage.
