The Wiper Blades
2 year old factory blades and they self destruct while I’m in a heavy rain pulling a trailer.

What shit they are.

I used to drive Hondas and I swear their OEM blades were the best. They lasted for years. I would try aftermarket blades but any ones I tried started deteriorating after just a couple of years. So I ended up always buying the OEM ones. My 4Runner's only a couple years old now, but the Toyota blades don't seem to be holding up as well as I expected.

A set of aftermarket wiper blades is about $25. I change them every spring and fall whether they need it or not......

Costco sells Michelin wiper blades for $8 each. Change them every year, same as the windshields.

The OEM blades seem to have held up well. I usually change blades in early spring after the sand and salt have washed off the roads. Everyone will be different depending on variables such as garaged or parked in the sun, how many miles per year, and what part of the country you live in. I do like the Rain-X silicone blades as replacements. I've found that cleaning the blades helps them last longer and reduces chatter.

Wow that's some impressive wiper blades, especially since you are supposed to replace them every 6-12 months.

Maybe ill switch back.

So far I've been happy with the OEM blades. I also change them twice a year (spring and fall), not to mention that my son works at Toyota and he gets a great price for the replacement blades.

Toyota OEM blades are usually good. PIAA too.

Too many variables when some says "this blade sucks" - often it is dirt on the windshield or dirt between the blade an the windshield. Clean the windshield.

Vehicle lives outdoors - rubber will degrade quicker than one that is garaged most of the time.

Seems like the OP's issue is the trailer "they self destruct while I’m in a heavy rain pulling a trailer."

Get trailer specific blades :-)

This, I only use Bosch Icons and I swap them out every year or 2. Small cost for safety in bad conditions
