AntennaMastsRus Short Rubber Antenna for Ford F-150 & Bronco

AntennaMastsRus short rubber antenna is a 6 3/4-inch, car-wash-safe replacement designed to fit Ford F-150 (2009–2026) and Bronco (2021–2026) with 304 stainless steel threading and a copper coil for improved reception.

This compact replacement antenna keeps your truck’s profile low while offering durable materials and straightforward installation. Made with EPDM rubber, a German-engineered copper internal coil, and U.S.-assembled craftsmanship, it replaces OEM part numbers AL3Z-18813-A and MCPZ18813A. The design focuses on long-term resilience in daily driving conditions — including automatic car washes — and aims to balance aesthetics with functional signal pickup for AM/FM radio systems.

How simple is installation and which models does it fit?

Installation is a quick screw-on swap that most owners complete in minutes using just the existing antenna base. This antenna is built specifically for Ford F-150 model years 2009–2026 and Bronco model years 2021–2026, matching common factory threading and form factor.

• Fits Ford F-150 (2009–2026) and Bronco (2021–2026)
• Screw-on design — no special tools required
• Direct replacement for OEM AL3Z-18813-A and MCPZ18813A
• Compact 6 3/4" length preserves truck’s low-profile look

Will this antenna survive car washes and everyday wear?

Yes — the antenna body is molded from resilient EPDM rubber and secured with 304 stainless steel threading to resist corrosion and flexing. The materials are selected to withstand repeated automatic car wash cycles and exposure to road elements without cracking or deforming.

• EPDM rubber resists weathering and temperature changes
• 304 stainless threading prevents rust at the mount point
• Assembled in the USA with quality control checks
• Manufacturer coverage: 2-year replacement if it fails

How does the copper coil affect reception compared to other short antennas?

The antenna uses a highly conductive copper internal coil engineered for improved signal pickup over typical aluminum or steel cores. Copper’s conductivity helps the short antenna pull in radio stations more reliably, especially in areas where signal strength is moderate.

• German-engineered copper coil for stronger signal capture
• Designed to optimize AM/FM reception in a compact form
• Outperforms many short antennas that use aluminum or steel cores
• Balanced design avoids noisy or brittle components

What materials and warranties back this product?

The antenna pairs durable EPDM rubber with high-grade 304 stainless steel threading and a precision copper coil. It’s produced by a family-owned USA assembler with over 20 years of experience and includes a two-year coverage from the purchase date for replacements if the antenna breaks under normal use.

• EPDM rubber body for flexibility and longevity
• 304 stainless steel threading made in the USA
• 2-year replacement coverage from purchase date
• Family-owned brand with decades of parts experience

Who is this for: Truck owners who want a low-profile, durable antenna that fits Ford F-150s (2009–2026) and Broncos (2021–2026) and prefer a simple bolt-on upgrade. This product suits drivers who frequently use automatic car washes, value corrosion-resistant hardware, and want better-than-average reception from a short antenna without changing the factory antenna base or wiring.
