I purchased a RONIN 4" antenna and it works fine. I don't have any trouble pulling in stations, but I live in the Philly area.

I got this one:
Amazon Amazon
.

It's survived car washes. It gets the trash country radio stations my wife listens to. I use Spotify. It doesn't whistle on the freeway. I'd recommend it.

I should probably go with the USA .50. That's way more patriotic than getting radio stations clogged with Keith Urban and Brad Paisley.

LMAO at Brantley Gilbert. 5'2" of bedazzled jeans and sleeveless shirts. Hilarious. Pop Country. No thanks. It's for sissies and women.

13" Antenna X from Amazon. Even pics up radio stations 80 miles away.

Have had it 5 years now, takes a beating in the car wash and always springs back in shape. It's made of some type of rubber.

Lord don't get Brantley mixed up with Florida Georgia Line or Luke Bryan Country POP. This is more Country ROCK....HUGE DIFFERENCE. If you're a die hard Hank Sr or Haggard however nothing will please you in today's music.

Amazon Amazon

I bought this one on Amazon about a month and a half ago and no issues yet. It was my first mod! To me it looks like the OEM antenna just shorter! No wind noise or noticeable drop in audio quality or range. Worth every penny in my opinion.

Orlando,I bought the same antenna last week from MastsRus. 15" wire-wrapped, after trying an Auto Zone 8" special that wind-whistled like a sailor on shore leave.

Yesterday for the heck of it I tried FM with no antenna (I plugged the hole with a plastic cap and have been running it that way for a while), I actually was getting most of the same stations as I was with a stubby. Some of you should give it a try, truck looks nice with nothing there and you can run it through a carwash. Plastic cap is part of an auto-body clip set but can be had at Lowe's or an auto part store for under $1.
