Length of stock antenna?

[H-Town]

Could someone measure the length of the stock antenna on their 2021 F150 for me? My new Platinum is at the dealer to fix a Low Oil Warning that pops up each time I start so I cannot check it myself. Thanks!

32" long plus another 3/4" of thread past the base.

Edit: looks like I was a minute late on my reply! Lol

You were spot on. ??

Just ordered a 27" antenna....hopefully it won't hit the rafters in the parking garage at work now...once I get it back.

Hopefully not! I have a 13” antenna on mine which obviously solves all of the clearance issues I had. Still gets good reception in my area, too.

I almost bought a 13"....but there were choices for a 21" and a 27" inch....if the 27" still hits...I'll get the 21". Thanks again for the measurement!

You’re welcome. I’m sure you will solve the problem. ??

I took my 32” antenna and just cut 5 inches off. Problem solved.

That's what I did to this truck, too. Just like I did to the 2016 I had. But having to use car washes for close to 5 months a year, I bought a shorty. I'm still able to hear the couple country stations using the short one but most of my listening is siriusxm so I'll probably leave the shorty on year around.

I’m using a 6-1/2” shorty and still get all my local FM stations. Only problem is it’s the one I bought for my 18’ so can’t remember what brand it is!

I want it t look like the stock antenna so I found one that looked like it....just shorter.

Circling back on this... How's the 27" antenna working for you @H-Town? Still have good reception and clearing parking garages?

it’s working as well as the OEM. I haven’t had any reception problems whatsoever.
