My Maverick came in 1 month after I ordered it. 2.0 XLT. This may seem a bit trivial, but it came without the antenna mast shown. My local Ford dealer is having a hard time getting one. The radio sucks without it. Is this a problem with the Maverick, or just mine?

They unscrew, so they get stolen. When I sold cars we just kept robbing them off another vehicle, to deliver the one we were selling.

sometimes they get removed by attendant before you drive through automated car wash and they forget to put back on. Could have happened at dealership during PDI prepping it for you to take possession.

I replaced mine with a stubby. Iā€™m happy to send you the OEM one since Iā€™ll lose it and then throw it away in a couple years when I find it lol.

just shoot me a PM with your info and Iā€™ll send it when I hit the post office this week.

I thought they were part of the PDI as they donā€™t ship with them screwed in. Dealers just forget to put them on

I had the same issue, I searched the truck and couldn't find it, so I emailed by dealer and they are going to check for it... However I ordered a stubby Jr to try out since the factory mast is so long.

My mom's is also missing her antenna I thought it might be because it has the 4G LTE delete?

No, since this antenna is for the radio. AM and FM bands. It has no relation to Wi-Fi.
