So after waiting 6 months for my order, my 1500 Limited came in on Saturday and I picked it up the same day. Yesterday, 2 days after pickup, I was driving home from work in some decent rain and all of a sudden the wipers were not working. They would not turn on even after shutting the truck off and turning it back on and the windshield fluid button on the stalk also would not initiate the wipers. After somehow making it home with no wipers in the rain, I sat in the driveway and tried to find out what was going on. I can hear the wiper motor, which sounds very strained, and if try to move the wipers with my hands, I can feel and hear the motor help them along. I’m assuming it’s a problem with the motor. Dropped it back off at the dealership a little while ago. I was wondering if anyone else has run into this. Very frustrating after the long wait and having only 2 days with the new truck.

Sorry to hear, what a bummer! I just picked up my new truck yesterday. I haven’t tried the wipers yet…think I’ll try them tomorow.

Hopefully it will be a quick fix. Let us know what they find.

Dealership took the truck in and found a faulty wiper motor. Replaced it the same day, back in business.

Interesting. The wipers quit today on my 3 day old 22 Limited. I noticed the wipers were noisy when I picked it up. The sales girl took a video for the service dept. I am expecting the motor as well.

im glad i bought my 2019 first year dt and no problems whew,lol
YUP, I bought mine in Aug. 2018 when they first came out, when they had added options like LED exterior lighting, and such. Now U have to specifically order or go up a lot of trims just to get LED lighting. Makes my tailfeathers wave for sure. Except for recalls, just an AC issue fixed under "TSB" (though I am not 100% happy with the fix, another story), and my E Fan for radiator, (fan on order, no idea when part get in), may be going bad. But all in all, truck been more than OK.

ADDED: I did buy off lot, and got plain jane Uconnect 4 radio, w/o all the OTA upgrade issues either.

U have a lot more options than I have, mine just a Lowly Bighorn. BUT I will neva go back to halogen lighting. I was going to upgrade to a 2500, But U have to go up to a Laramie Trim, at over 60K in TX, to just get what I have now on my Bighorn (just a few more pounds capability and 6.4L motor). I got rebates and bought MY 19 for 41K off 8K from sticker. The new 2500 is 60K plus and not a rebate in sight. YUP, I stay in my 2019, LOL, even though it is 4 years old already, but Paid for.

I don't want more than what the Bighorn has had in the past.
But now the Bighorn is being moved over to the Gen 5 side :(

That leaves the Express & Tradesman on the 4th Gen side, i think
