Can someone recommend a car wash safe stubby antenna??

Like the title says. If possible one without loss in reception, not sure if that's possible, lol.

Edit: I ordered a Stubby Jr. by Cravenspeed based on recommendations. Can be found here: Stubby Jr Antenna for 2022 Ford Maverick (cravenspeed.com)

I ordered the “stubby jr” by Cravenspeed. I don’t have my truck yet but it’s the only one I’ve heard several people talking about.

I bought the Stubby Jr for Maverick based on other reviews. I don't have my truck yet but reviews are pretty good on it.

I bought my stubby thru cravenspeed and take it through my local drive thru car wash weekly, including last night and have to rewash today because it rained overnight, anyway, I installed it 2 months ago and have had zero effects on the reception or loosening of the antenna!

Thanks, guess I'm ordering one then!

It's a good quality antenna. My profile picture shows it, installed!

There's another manufacturer called Perrin. They make a 3" and 2" that'll work.

Although I did list Perrin as another option, I too just ordered one through cravenspeed! Craven is $6.00 cheaper and NO shipping costs! $20 is a great deal for this!

My Truck isn't scheduled for production until the week of 4/11, which means I probably won't take deliver until the end of May or June, I'm trying to aquire some of the smaller upgrades to have them ready to go!

I have the one that came with the truck came with and I go through the automatic drive thru car wash with the spinny whippy things and mine is just fine.

I would have done that too, but mine came much earlier than expected. They told me it will take 6 months when I ordered it at the end of December. So when they told me it's ready at the end of March I haven't bought anything for it yet. So now trying to catch up... lol

Oh? Well, that's good to know, but I'd rather play it safe anyway, plus the stubby one looks better...

The original should be fine through the wash, the Ranger has the same antenna & is taller. I have been through the no touch wash with no problem.

As far as Mavericks go "earlier than expected" is a rarity! Very happy for you!

This forum is great; you find all sorts of cool accessories! I never gave the Maverick antenna much thought until I saw your thread!


Another member turned me onto this steering wheel cover that matches the other orange accents in the XLT cab:

Ah, that's cool. But I live in Florida. The last thing I want is a black steering wheel cover, lol. Maybe if it was gray and orange so I don't cook a layer of my skin when I get in and touch the steering wheel...
