the wiper motor is connected to the firewall and so it the brake pedal lever no?

wouldn't this cause some vibration/pulsating through your foot?

...what's even more annoying is how when the wipers are on high the whole truck sways back and fourth. when the Raptor is a-rockin don't come a knockin.

I use Rain-X. If I had to say what my most un-used thing on any vehicle of mine is, it would be the wipers. I've NEVER replaced a set of blades on any of my vehicles. Maybe that means I never keep them long enough. But for real, Rain-X or that other gel shit I want to try when I run out.

Also, the Rain-X additive in the washer reservoir rocks.

Feeling the wipers in the brake peddle really bugs me and so does the heat distribution. My right foot sweats and my left foot freezes. C'mon Ford.

The only vehicle I have owned that had this foot massage feature was my 02 SVT Focus.

Has to be a Ford thing.

maybe they are borrowing the wiper motors from the f150's for the new 2013 gt500 motor...
