I am a Dec 2020 Wildtrak order place, that has been pushed to the 2022 MY. Looking at photos I realized that the Bronco has an Antenna... WTF! My Ram and Infiniti are Antenna free. Why after this many years and technology are we reduced to the infidels called antenna? :cry::mad:
I get it, the search function should be avoided at all costs.

It's a good rant to make in the mall parking lot, and a very valid one in that environment.

Now, if say the vehicle was designed to work in environments other than mall parking lots then it's design focus would have to be entirely different.


FWIW, your answer is in this thread.

Note: I love how the first line is still paying dues half a year later!

The roof is modular so Ford canā€™t tuck the radio antenna(s) up there in the little shark fin you might be used to. Thankfully, the Bronco antenna can be either deleted outright and replaced with a rubberized cap or swapped out for VERY compact alternatives. I canā€™t stand long antennas and couldnā€™t be less interested in garbage radio stations so I went with a stubby antenna replacement.
Where to get stubby replacement?

Its dual purpose, it also a low clearance warning system.
I full on KILLED (like bird shaped dent in the antenna, feathers everywhere killed) a dove a few years ago with my ram antenna. So sad. Also extremely unlucky for the little fella. I immediately switched to a stubby antenna. Works great. I recommend everybody swap for a stubby.

It was super SCARY. I was doing 65 when it happened and the bird/antenna hit the windshield making an awful bang (no windshield damage thank goodness). My daughter hit a heron with that same truck last year right about Sunset. Tragic. Feather pillow time again. That was a big bird and I am still finding feathers in weird places in the front end.

I like the antenna. having an old school connection is not a bad thing. besides, it unscrews. I like the idea of getting the short one for 90% of the time and install the long one for long trips or in rural areas.

This actually is a funny but underrated post. I have used my JK antenna for this purpose.
