Thank you. I guess I just don't understand it. I have the same antenna as the stock antenna on the Maverick on my 2012 Ford focus and I've never once questioned or wished for something different. 🤷‍♂️
Agreed. But I have wished for something different on the radio...

Not that it matters to me, but does that mean the Mav doesn’t have the satellite radio?
Lariat Lux comes with satellite radio, the other trims do not.

My 2012 mazda3 had the antenna built into the back window. For the longest time I thought part of my defroster was broken...

Having the antenna on the roof?

I've seen a few people respond negatively to it. What's the deal?
Auto journalists and youtubers just want everything to be a sports car. They want the shark fin fad for aerodynamics when you are on the racetrack or autobahn at 200 mph in your economy, compact maverick. (so dumb)

Like a tailgate spoiler on a hybrid mini pickup. 🤪

How about a couple of 102 in whips clamped to the rear end somehow. Bring back the CB radios, Had two on my '72 Maverick. Would probably lose 1-2 MPG :D

You can order a shorter replacement antenna off Amazon for less than $10
