MAXRACING Short Truck Antenna for Ford F250 (2009–2026) — Low-Profile Black Anodized Aluminum, Carwash-Safe

MAXRACING Short Truck Antenna is a durable, low-profile aluminum replacement antenna that bolts onto Ford F250 models (2009–2026) for improved appearance and carwash-safe clearance.

This short mast antenna from MAXRACING is designed as a direct, no-wiring replacement for your stock whip antenna on Ford F250 pickup trucks from 2009 through 2026. Machined from 7073 aluminum and finished in hard black anodize, it resists chipping, scratching, and fading while lowering the overall antenna height to avoid damage in garages and automated car washes. Installation is straightforward — the antenna screws onto the existing threaded mount so you can swap it in under a minute without tools or electrical changes.

Will this antenna fit my Ford F250 and require any wiring?

Yes — this MAXRACING antenna is made to fit the threaded mast mount used on Ford F250 trucks from model years 2009 to 2026. It replaces the stock mast directly and does not require any wiring, making installation quick and simple.

• Compatible with Ford F250 (2009–2026) threaded mast mounts
• Direct bolt-on replacement; no wiring or adapters needed
• Installs in under a minute by screwing onto the existing mount
• Works alongside factory electronics like OnStar and GPS (designed for appearance)

How durable is the MAXRACING short antenna for everyday use?

The antenna uses 7073-grade aluminum with a hard black anodized finish for long-term resistance to corrosion, chips, and UV fading. Its compact profile reduces the chance of accidental knocks, and the anodized surface keeps the look consistent through weather and washes.

• 7073 aluminum construction for light weight and corrosion resistance
• Hard black anodized finish that resists chipping and fading
• Low-profile design lowers risk of damage in garages and car washes
• Precision threading for secure, wobble-free fitment

Will changing to this short mast affect radio reception or vehicle systems?

This antenna is primarily an appearance and clearance upgrade; it replaces the mast without altering vehicle wiring. MAXRACING designs the product to maintain standard reception for AM/FM and not interfere with factory systems, though extremely localized signal variation depends on the vehicle and environment.

• Designed as a passive mast replacement — no change to electrical connections
• Compatible with factory OnStar and GPS systems in typical installations
• Maintains standard AM/FM reception in the majority of use cases
• Intended mainly for styling and clearance, not as a signal amplifier

How easy is the installation and what should I expect to do?

Installation is intentionally simple: remove the old mast and screw the MAXRACING antenna into the existing threaded mount. No special tools or electrical work are required, and the process usually takes less than a minute when the mount is clean and threads align properly.

• Unscrew and remove the factory antenna mast
• Clean threads on the vehicle mount if necessary
• Screw the MAXRACING antenna onto the threaded mount until snug
• No wiring, connectors, or professional installation needed

Who is this for: The MAXRACING Short Truck Antenna is ideal for Ford F250 owners who want a sleek, low-profile look while minimizing the risk of antenna damage in tight garages and automatic car washes. It suits drivers who prefer a durable, easy-to-install cosmetic upgrade without modifying factory wiring or electronics. If you prioritize improved clearance and a long-lasting finish over aftermarket signal-boosting features, this antenna offers a practical, attractive solution.
