What size wiper blades does a 2020–2025 Ford Escape take?
- 24 inches on the driver's side and 20 inches on the passenger's side, plus a 11-inch rear blade.
Can you fit a longer wiper blade on a 2020–2025 Ford Escape?
- Going up one inch usually clears, but it is not free: an oversized driver's blade can overlap the passenger blade at the top of the sweep, or run off the edge of the glass and chatter. The factory sizes are chosen to sweep the maximum area without contact.

- Pinch-tab connector front blades; sizes constant 2020–2025 (a few charts list a 12-in rear, 11-in is the common fitment). Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch.
