    Ok. After I got the new HD Radio put in the reception has been wonderful for the stations I listen to that have a digital signal. I won't change it, although those shorties look cooler.

    Don't have an antenna- there wasn't one on the truck when I bought it. :D
    I'll buy one eventually, but right now, all my money is going into the motor. I'll save piddly crap like that for when the real money spending is over.

    Just put on the 13" antennax euro style on my 2013. The reception is actually better than the stock antenna! No lie!

    So they dont snap off. There is generally signs at carwashes saying to roll down your antenna, or take it off.

    Well this gets even better..didn't see a little tool in the glove box to do so.
    I was about to order a stubby antenna but went outside to check how easy it was to get off and I was like uhhh this thing isn't moving. Made me feel like I should just leave it.

    I'll be looking for this tool now, thanks.

    I've got the CravenSpeed stubby antenna. Really like the clean look. Not to mention -- don't have to worry about it snapping in half if I ever have to take it through an automatic car wash ;)

    The stocker. Just cut it down to where it doesn't hit the garage door but is just a bit over the roof line. Reception is as good as it ever was, and it's free. Not bashin' anyone's aftermarket. I'm just cheap
