I looked at a lottttt. Hi end, low end before changing. At first I was set on the stubby. Wanted to eliminate the whole look of the old antenna. But then I saw a comment from someone saying that aesthetically it didn’t look proportional to the vehicle. That changed it instantly for me personally. So I went on a hunt for a 13” height one. About the height of the windshield approx. ….maybe just a little shorter. I have not lost reception it’s is exactly the same if not better, and so far so good. It’s about half the size of the original OEM. There’s so many out there that you can change it up anytime you want. I also luv the squared off top. I know everyone has their own personal taste. But this is the one I have for now.

FWIW I tried this one and the reception was no good.

I went with CravenSpeed Untenna. I haven’t tried the reception, but it looks great. Pics tomorrow.

FYI - I would suggest a bit of anti-seize on the threads if you live anywhere salty. Was a bitch to get my stubby off.

I went with this one on the Raptor and plan on the same one for the Badlands. Great quality and haven't noticed any reception issues on the truck so far.

I searched the forum to see what people are using for a good stubby (or shorter) antenna, but don't see preferred vendors. Those of you who switched, what brand are you using? Additionally, is it worse/better/equiv. than the OEM? The OEM is too tall and hitting the garage and every low hanging branch. Thanks.

I installed the stubby from Extreme Terrain-no loss of reception and fits like a glove-very happy with selection

I bought mine at the dealership parts department. No change in reception vs oem.

What was the dealership cost and any brand name or Ford?

It was like $30.00, I don't recall the brand name. But it was a direct fit and I was there getting service done so I bought it.

I went with the slightly longer one from KSA. It's still lower than the roofline so no issues with the garage. I don't listen to the radio very often so I can't say if it's worse than stock or not.
