Bosch Icon. The OEM wipers are made by Bosch and not bad, but the Icon’s are a step up.
You can also go a size up if you want.
Also, the best thing you can do for your wipers is good glass prep. A good cleaning regularly, and a polish once a year with a good fine glass polish.

We just got a few boxes of OEM replacements for our ford work trucks and obviously they work well enough. The Bosch Icon is definitely top notch though. Used that on my last replacement and couldn’t be happier. They are buttery smooth.
Bosch fitment guide shows #22A for 2018+ Expedition. Looks like the next size up is #24A (24" length vs 22"). Is there enough clearance for the extra 2" on both wiper arms?

+1 on the Bosch Icons. They work well and last longer than the cheapo wipers.
I did it a few months ago. Will check and post up tomorrow.

Another vote for Bosch Icon. Much better than OEM version. I keep an extra set in each truck for when I need to replace, which usually turns out to be on a winter trip.

Add my name to the ICON list. Best I've ever used. They're expensive; but, they're worth it.

I’ve put silicone wiper blades on my vehicles for decades now. On my last few I’ve been using the PIAA’s. I put them on this car and as always, they are wonderful. The silicone leaves an invisible film on your windshield which promotes water beading. It makes downpours much easier.

Chalk me up to another Bosch Icon fan (22A on both drive and passenger side)

Rain X Expert Fit from Wal Mart on the front and OEM Motorcraft on the rear work great for me.

There is almost always room. You can also chop and re-weld the arms to go larger, done this previously on a vehicle with different driver & passenger side lengths to make them the same, definitely worth it in those cases.

Had a 22" Michelin Performance XT so I tossed it on the driver's side of my 2013 and the bend in the beam was too severe and always left a section of untouched windshield behind right in my line of vision, maybe these would be good after a few weeks of summer temps but I can't recommend them in cold temps. Switched to passenger side and even worse, may try some others like the Motorcraft, if the Icons are that expensive and don't hold up in freezing conditions then they're no good to me.
