2015 Ram 1500 Wiper Blade Sizes & Replacement Guide

Maintaining clear visibility in your 2015 Ram 1500 is crucial for safe driving, whether you are towing a heavy load, navigating a job site, or just commuting through a heavy downpour. Knowing the right wiper blade sizes and attachment styles can save you time and frustration at the parts counter. Below is everything you need to know about replacing the wiper blades on your 2015 Ram 1500.

Quick reference

Here is the essential sizing and attachment information for your 2015 Ram 1500 wiper blades. Note that since the Ram 1500 is a pickup truck, it does not come equipped with a rear wiper.

Best aftermarket replacements

If you prefer to upgrade from standard factory blades, the 22-inch size is incredibly common, giving you plenty of fantastic aftermarket options. Here are the top choices depending on your budget:

• Bosch ICON: (Premium tier) These beam-style blades are a favorite among truck owners for their incredible durability, sleek design, and consistent pressure distribution across the windshield.
• Rain-X Latitude: (Premium tier) Known for applying a water-repelling coating as they wipe, these beam blades are excellent for drivers who frequently deal with heavy rain or sleet.
• Trico Force: (Mid-tier to Premium) Designed specifically with a swept-wing spoiler, these are perfect for trucks that travel at highway speeds, resisting wind lift.
• Michelin Stealth: (Mid-tier) A hybrid blade that offers the aerodynamic cover of a beam blade with the structural support of a traditional frame blade.
• PIAA Si-Tech: (Premium tier) Made with silicone rubber, these blades last exceptionally long and constantly reapply an active silicone coating to the glass, making water bead up and roll off.

Attachment style

The 2015 Ram 1500 uses the traditional J-hook (specifically, the standard 9x3 mm J-hook) attachment style. This is the most common and easiest attachment type to work with. You won't need to fiddle with complicated proprietary adapters or multiple plastic clips. Most aftermarket blades will click right into the J-hook straight out of the package.

How to install

Replacing the J-hook wiper blades on your Ram 1500 takes only a few minutes. Here are the steps:

1. Lift the wiper arm: Carefully pull the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks in the upright position.
2. Protect your glass: Lay a folded towel on the windshield beneath the wiper arm. If the arm accidentally snaps back, the towel will prevent the metal hook from cracking your glass.
3. Remove the old blade: Locate the small plastic tab on the underside of the wiper blade where it meets the hook. Press the tab and push the blade down toward the base of the wiper arm to unhook it. Slide it off the arm completely.
4. Attach the new blade: Position the new blade so the open end of the J-hook points toward the blade's adapter. Slide the hook through the opening and pull the blade upward until you hear a distinct "click" locking it into place.
5. Lower and test: Gently lower the arm back onto the windshield (do not let it snap back). Turn on the ignition and test the wipers with washer fluid to ensure they are secure and functioning correctly.

When to replace

Wiper blades are a wear-and-tear item and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, depending on your climate and usage. UV rays, freezing temperatures, and road debris break down the rubber over time.

You should replace your blades immediately if you notice:

• Streaking: Leaving bands of water or un-wiped sections on the glass.
• Chattering: The blade skips or stutters across the windshield, usually making a loud noise.
• Splitting: The rubber squeegee is separating from the frame.
