Antenna

[MarcoG]

Here's the one I bought. Usually goes on sale often https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BR4R6N7H?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Appears to have some issues. Some reviews cited paint wearing off, others say it doesn't fit, just for Rangers?

I have the 2" and the 4" Craven antennas. They both get terrible reception. Good for looks, lousy for picking up stations. City dwellers might not have a problem with the local stations. Keep the original in your glove box for when you go on road trips and actually want to listen to the radio.
Shouldn't be using a car wash that touches you car anyway.

Screwed right onto my Maverick no problem. No paint is wearing off after 6 months. And radio reception has been the same as the factory one. Like another person mentioned that maybe because I'm in a city area.

Curious what the purpose of a shorter antenna is for?

There are some among us who think an 8" antenna is offensive and a 2" antenna adds at least $20 to the aesthetic value of the truck.

My garage has very little headroom, so the stubby antenna was needed to clear the garage door when it's raised.

Thanks, guys. I think I'll pass, didn't realize that reception would be reduced.

There are dozens of short antennas on Amazon, many to fit some or all? Fords. Any experience with a good one ???

I got one on Amazon, it’s called the stubby, $20 so far so good. I put it on this morning. (2-7)
