Stubby Antenna Help

[BennyTheBeaver]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone here has found a stubby antenna which has a base width that matches our Lightning's?

I've tried a couple different ones and they all have a weird gap at the bottom due to how the Lightning's antenna stack is.

I have this one from Amazon, pretty close fit, but not perfect. Pics for reference.

This one worked great for me. If you have your vehicle plugged into Amazon, ignore the message that it doesn't fit.

I got this one, covers the connection to keep water out. Same one on my Bronco. No noticeable difference in reception.

@Jer and @KennyB123

Thank you!

Any chance you can post pictures?

I'm really curious how the truck and the antenna fit at the connection point, or if there is a large gap.

My truck is at home and I'm not home... But this is a terrible zoom in from my security camera. It's a clean fit.

It looks nice! Is that with or without the Carbon Fiber tip at the bottom?

Great question... It should be with the carbon fiber tip because I just slapped it on as delivered. I'll double check later tonight.

I have similar to what @KennyB123 has. The bottom has carbon fiber column.

i dont understand why Ford still uses this style antenna. My ram had the shark fin on top, I thought it looked great.

How stubby do you want it?

100% with you on this, terrestrial radio is a disease. Already had my antenna delete plug in my pocket when I picked up my truck at the dealer.
