Short antenna recommendation

[stlgrym3]

Need to replace the factory antenna on our new PB F150. Can’t believe Ford still using these long antennas. What are your recommendations? Thanks in advance.

I got this one from Amazon... nothing special. $25 and it works just fine...and looks better than the Ford Whip. But it doesn't give you the "clearance indicator" that the tall antenna does. ?

I’ve had this one on mine since October 2021. Rydonair Antenna Compatible with Ford F150 2009-2023 | 7 inches Rubber Antenna Replacement | Designed for Optimized FM/AM Reception https://a.co/d/f8O3pxf

Had the shorter Rydonair...just took off and put factory back on.
Terrible reception

Builtright industries.
I've had many Amazon ones in the past, this BRI is by far the best quality and reception.

Never had an issue.

Rydonair. Don't listen to radio that much, but it works for what I need. I have enough music on a thumb drive to get me cross country and back.

Untenna is my vote.

I purchased the same one two years ago and it works great for local stations but since I am old school and listen to talk radio on AM, I switch back to the factory antannae for long trips for better reception.

Builtright for me too. Very heavy duty and looks great. It’s been through numerous automatic car washes and still looks new. The reception is understandably not as good, but it good enough for me.

I have a job 1 2021 with the REALLY long antenna. Hit the roof in most garages. Replaced it with the 2022 model antenna which I think it the prefect height, slightly higher than the cab, great indicator of clearance.

Untenna is my vote.

Same height as the cab and still get HD stations.

FWIW I just received the builtright and after a day it is already going back. I can only get super-local stations with it
