I run trains! |
Black’s fluid extractor thread got me to thinking, I need to replace my OEM antenna with a shorty. 95% of my radio listening is streaming and I will occasionally go through a car wash. Would like something lower profile. Anyone have recommendations? Seems like there’s any number of Chinese branded units on Amazon and other sites. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | ||

Had this one on my 2016 F150 for 2 years. Living N Houston, FM reception was never an issue https://www.cravenspeed.com/the-stubby-antenna-2/ The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Thanks. That’s the exact one I almost ordered earlier. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

Thank you Very little |
They have a large caliber bullet antenna! | |||

So let it be written, so let it be done... |
The Raptor antenna is a lot shorter than the standard F-150 antenna - should fit just fine - "should" You might want to go to a dealer and see if they have one in stock and make sure. 'Live long and prosper' | |||

I have the Cravenspeed antenna on my Harley, no where near as good as the factory whip antenna, but good enough for the times I listen the FM radio. | |||

I put a Cravenspeed stubby on my 2022 F150 but I don't normally listen to FM so I can't really say much about its reception abilities. It seemed to pick up a few stations in the driveway after I installed it but probably haven't listened to the FM radio since. | |||

It'll be 6 years in April, I put a 13" flexible AntennaX (at the time, $15.99 on Amazon) on my Frontier. Just as good of reception as the tall, stiff OEM antenna.

I have a stubby on mine. FM reception is mediocre, AM is terrible. I’m watching this thread for a better option. | |||

When it comes to antennas, there really isn't any substitute for having enough antenna to pick up the signal. Short ones just don't match the frequency profile enough. | |||
