Description of ๐Ÿ“ถ Trunknets Inc 6.5" Antenna Mast for Ford F-150 Raptor (2009-2020): Enhanced Signal Reception and Perfect Fit

Great Looking Antenna for your Ford F150 All Trim Models including RAPTOR! No More Hitting Garage Door with your Antenna!. Based on Customer Reviews of this 6 .5 Inch Antenna Mast ( 5 times smaller in height than Factory 31 inch Antenna ). FM stations are getting near 100% same Reception as Factory Antenna. AM stations may not work well specially in Country side. If you listen to AM stations we don't recommend changing your Factory Antenna. So please consider this before buying . This is Great Looking Antenna with Good Reception but for some it may not work as well as it worked for others and there could be many factors besides Antenna itself. Do not ignore automatic car wash warnings sign about removing Antenna before entering car wash.

Make sure you tighten it VERY TIGHT.

Not sure if I tightened it properly or if someone stole it. Pooh. The threaded part that attaches the antenna to the truck is a completely separate part. This is a double male. The antenna itself is a socket, as is the truck's receiver. The antenna disappeared after a month of use. The duplicate male part is still on the truck. I will order it again and make it double tight. My FM signal was noticeably weaker, but I still listen to satellite most of the time.

Pros
  • VHF stations receive almost 100% the same reception as the factory antenna.
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Excellent fit, works well

I actually don't listen to the radio anymore. But every once in a while I run out of podcasts and Sirius content and turn on the radio. So I chose this to clean up the look of my 2019 F150 and do some radio work. FM seems to be better than with the stock antenna, while AM works well in some areas and noticeably worse in others where it used to work with the stock antenna. I don't care but it deducted 5 stars. Overall it looks good, fits well and serves its purpose.

Pros
  • AM stations may not work well, especially in rural areas. If you listen to AM stations, we do not recommend changing the factory antenna
Cons
  • Not the best

Looks very good, good quality but very little reception loss.

I definitely like the look. Looks much better than the factory antenna. The quality seems good too. It's a fairly tough rubber that doesn't flex easily, but will flex when needed. This antenna is quite close to reception compared to the factory antenna. This loses a little more reception when driving over hilly terrain, but it's still not bad given the price and its low price. In general I am very satisfied with her. Update 01/22/20: I am still using this antenna and am still happy with itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Please note this before purchasing. This is a great antenna with good reception, but it may not work as well for some as it does for others and there are many factors at play besides the antenna itself. Do not ignore the automatic car wash warning sign to remove the antenna before entering the car wash.
Cons
  • Style 90

Works well but not as well as OEM

I like this short antenna for my 2018 Ford F150 XLT , because it is not short and not so big. I always go to the car wash and don't want to risk damaging the stock antenna with the moving cleaning parts of the car wash. I replaced the original antenna with this antenna and it fits perfectly. Easy to install but I don't think the signal is as good as the original because on the OEM part even if I'm 100 miles from town I can still get a clear local station signal and it goes away, when i am 125โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Based on customer reviews of this 6.5" antenna mast (5 times smaller than the factory 31" antenna)
Cons
  • not reliable
