If you like the short antenna great. However normally a short antenna means you get less reception. In a metro area it makes little or no difference and many use satellite now days anyway. But for those who still use am radio in the rural areas think about that reception range before you decide.
Waiting to be a Bronco owner got a base model on order. So someday, maybe?

I put mine on also. I live ina rural area and really dont care about local radio. I stream my music through another source so I'm not worried if it gets weaker reception....UNLESS....it weKens rhe ford pass ap. Which doesnt seem affected by it. So, redtip .50 cal will stay on.

it's not the size of your antenna that counts right?

New here - does the stock antenna hit the top garage opening? Sasquatch height.

That might depend on how short your garage is....

IIRC like 84” or 7’.

I cut a few inches off my F150 antenna cuz it was smacking the top of the opening.

No, I just didn’t like how it was getting bent all to hell when I drove it through the car wash.

You guys have fun and make your vehicle how you want it. That is the fun in having a vehicle like this.

Just be aware of the less reception of AM and FM with the shorter antennas . If that is ok with you go for it.

As to the shorter, fatter discussion I do not think those guys were referring to antennas.
