Ronin Factory 4" Short Truck Antenna for Ford F150 F250 F350

RONIN FACTORY's 4-inch short truck antenna is a durable, carwash-safe replacement mast that modernizes appearance while preserving radio, Bluetooth and satellite functionality.

If you want to swap your factory mast for a low-profile alternative that resists theft, holds up in automatic car washes and matches a rugged truck aesthetic, this 4" antenna is built for that purpose. It’s engineered from metal, brass and rubber silicone materials and fits a broad range of Ford and RAM models from the specified years. Installation is simple — unscrew the factory antenna and hand-thread the Ronin Factory mast into place.

Will this antenna fit my Ford, Bronco or RAM model?

Compatibility is broad but specific: it works with most F-Series trucks, select Broncos and many RAMs within the listed years. It does not fit 2024+ Broncos or Bronco Sport models.

• Fits: Ford F150, F250, F350 and Super Duty trucks from compatible years.
• Fits Bronco & Raptor models from 2021–2023 (not Bronco Sport).
• Fits Dodge RAM trucks 1994–2018 and RAM 1500 Classic 2019+.
• Does NOT fit 2024+ Broncos — see Ronin Factory SmartLock options for those.

How does the anti-theft and carwash-safe design perform?

The antenna includes a thread-locking compound to make quick theft less likely and its all-metal and rubber construction tolerates automatic car washes without snapping. For even stronger theft protection, Ronin Factory offers SmartLock variants with keyed locks.

• Thread-locking compound applied to deter casual theft.
• Robust materials (brass, stainless steel, anodized aluminum) resist corrosion and bending.
• Short 4" profile reduces snagging in car washes and low-clearance areas.

Will switching to a 4-inch antenna affect my radio or satellite reception?

Shortening the mast does reduce over-the-air FM/AM reception compared with the OEM 36" antenna; however, this 4" model maintains adequate reception for many users and does not interfere with Bluetooth or satellite services. If maximum FM/AM strength is essential, consider a longer replacement antenna.

• Provides medium radio reception compared to longer masts.
• Does not negatively affect XM, satellite radio or Bluetooth connectivity.
• Best choice for drivers prioritizing appearance and durability over max FM range.

How easy is installation and what materials are used?

Installation is a simple hand-screw swap that takes under a minute — no tools required. The build uses premium non-plastic materials chosen for longevity and road-ready resilience.

• Unscrew factory antenna, hand-thread the Ronin Factory antenna into place.
• Constructed from brass, stainless steel, military-grade anodized aluminum and rubber silicone.
• Pre-applied thread-lock compound for added security.

Who this is for: drivers who want a low-profile, rugged antenna that modernizes their truck’s look, survives regular car washes, and reduces theft risk without disrupting satellite or Bluetooth audio. Choose this 4" Ronin Factory antenna if you own a compatible Ford, Bronco (2021–2023), or RAM model and prefer a durable metal construction and quick tool-free installation. If you require maximum FM reception or own a 2024+ Bronco, review longer or SmartLock models from Ronin Factory instead.
