I have a ‘22 579 and it gets RainX once or twice a week at the truck wash and in 212k miles I haven’t experienced what you’re describing. My previous truck was a ‘17 579 that didn’t have side fairings and I also don’t recall my mirrors and windows being dirty to the point I couldn’t see in traffic. My guess is your windows and mirrors were dirty to start with and the dirty spray off the road made them worse.

Here is the Solution ~ TRUNK MONKEY
Hammer166 Thanks this. -
Can't just stop in middle of interstate and get out and wash windows. Not that it would do any good. A few feet and it is right back as it was.
So turn on blinkers when it looks like there is a space in the blurred lights and wait a few seconds for people to notice then slowly move over.
Got to get off that road somehow. -
By the way as I looked at those pictures I was able to clearly define a distance within reason.
And yes I would bring it to a stop rather than risking someone else’s life by blindly just switching lanes if it was actually total blindness. At least that way others have a fighting chance but if the issue was known before hand some sort of makeshift solution would have been in place beforehand. -
Rest in peace to the letters 'e' and 'c' as today's marketing ploys dictate the eradication of the letter 'e' in most product names, and the loss of the letter 'c' when put before the letter 'k'.Kyle G. Thanks this. -
you said it was in the shop. did they remove the tire fairing under the hood? the one that goes over the tire and blocks off the engine compartment from the outside.

Grab yourself some car wax and wax on and wax off. While you’re at it wax the whole truck. Then you can ride with your head held hi while strollin.
