AntennaMastsRus Short Rubber Antenna for Ford F-150 (2009-2026) - Bronco (21-26) USA Stainless Threading, 6 3/4 Inch Truck Accessory, Car Wash Safe, Easy Installation, Enhanced Reception w/Copper Coil

Swapped out the factory antenna on my F-150 for this short rubber version, and I’m impressed. The 7-inch spiral design gives the truck a cleaner, more modern look without sacrificing much in terms of reception. FM stations come in strong, and while AM can dip a bit in rural areas, it’s still perfectly usable for my needs. Installation was a breeze—unscrew the old one, screw this in, and done in under a minute. The flexible rubber construction feels durable and doesn’t get in the way at the car wash or under low-clearance garages. Plus, the stainless steel threading gives it a secure, snug fit. If you’re looking for a sleek, no-hassle upgrade that won’t snap off the first time you hit a branch or go through a wash, this antenna is a solid pick.

I like this antenna, the radio reception seems the same as the oddly tall OEM rod, installation is easy screw off the old hand twist on the new, it has never loosened, I have gone through car washes, off road brush and hit this unit numerous times with my snow brush, no issues ever, I don't even think about it, except for when I see a truck in a parking lot with the ridiculously tall original one

The quality of the antenna feels great in the hand. Super easy installation anyone can do it. I noticed no change in radio reception. Fantastic product for function and for aesthetics.

It works well and definitely gets rid of the long antenna. I bought it because I parked in a parking deck each day and the stock antenna hit the beams. This antenna lasted 42 months before the rubber split and the internals corroded. It worked well enough that I replaced it with the same one.

Great product. Sits flush on a 2016 f150 Lariet. Feels good, looks good, don’t see what the one star reviews are about. Being said, haven’t been thru a car wash but I use touchless. 100% happy with this product. Simple, easy, no brainer.

Put it on my F-150 and it works great, went on a 200-mile trip thru the boonies and never lost reception. I was probably 80 miles from a metropolitan area and no issue with reception.

The quality seems durable. The look, size and thickness I’m very pleased with. I’ve only had it for less than a day. I’m pretty confident that it will hold up in the long term. The sound quality is great so far. It is very easy to install.

Got tired of straightening the factory whip antenna on my 2021 Ford F-150 XLT. After looking at what seemed like 100 different short antennas, I settled on this one. Simple as can be to change. Fit nicely and was snug to the base. While I mostly listen to Sirius XM, I do occasionally listen to a couple semi-local AM & FM stations. I live in a small-to-medium size town in the Midwest, roughly 45-50 miles outside of a major metropolitan city. There was no noticeable difference picking up the stations, both those in my town and those 50 miles away. If there was any reduction in reception, it was ever so slight on the AM station. This antenna works and I would buy it again.

arrived on time, work perfectly.

Does as it should. Stylish. Someone stole mine.... Hoping to get another soon.

Excellent

Easy install, quality feels great, no change in radio reception. Much cleaner than the tall OEM metal antenna on my 2017 F150. Been thru winter and many car washes, no issues. Should have come from the factory like this.

Came with the wrong screw adapters for my order for a 2019 F150. It may be fine but it’s useless to me. Doesn’t fit
