Votex Short Antenna for Ford F-250 (2017–2027) 6.75" Rubber with Stainless Steel Threading & Copper Coil

A 6.75-inch replacement antenna built for Ford F-250 (2017–2027) that combines stainless steel threading, EPDM rubber durability, and a copper internal coil for improved reception and everyday resilience.

This compact Votex antenna is a direct-fit replacement for Ford F-250 models from 2017 through 2027. It swaps in quickly via a screw-on mount and is engineered to resist car-wash forces while preserving a clean, modern look on your Super Duty. The design emphasizes durable materials and conductive internals so you keep radio clarity without the tall mast.

How does this short antenna hold up through car washes and rough weather?

Votex uses EPDM rubber over a 304 stainless-steel threaded base to prevent corrosion, cracking, or bending when exposed to water, detergents, and mechanical brushes. The materials and build are selected to tolerate repeated automatic washes and typical road exposure without losing fit or finish.

• EPDM rubber exterior resists weathering and UV exposure
• 304 stainless-steel threading reduces rust at the mount
• Manufactured to withstand car-wash brushes and pressure
• Backed by a 2-year replacement coverage from purchase

Will a shorter antenna still deliver clear radio reception?

Yes — the internal copper coil used in this Votex antenna is significantly more conductive than common alternatives, improving signal pickup for AM/FM. Shorter antennas normally trade height for reception, but the copper core narrows that gap and helps pull in stations more reliably than typical aluminum or steel short units.

• Internal high-conductivity copper coil for stronger signal capture
• Optimized coil and housing geometry for FM/AM clarity
• Engineered specifically for Ford F-250 mounting patterns
• Compatible with standard screw-on antenna mounts

Is installation simple enough for a quick DIY swap?

Installation is straightforward: the antenna screws onto the existing mast base, so no tools beyond your hands are usually required. The short, threaded design makes the swap a matter of minutes, restoring an uncluttered profile to the truck without fiddly adapters.

• Screw-on mounting fits factory thread size
• No cutting, drilling, or wiring changes needed
• Can be installed in under ten minutes by one person
• Designed for a snug, wobble-free fit

What quality assurances come with this product?

Votex manufactures this antenna in the USA and enforces quality checks during production. The family-owned brand emphasizes material standards and offers a two-year coverage window for replacements if the antenna fails under normal use.

• Made in the USA under controlled specs
• Family-owned brand with over 20 years in accessories
• Two-year coverage from date of purchase for defects
• Proven durability claims backed by testing

Who is this for: This short Votex antenna is ideal for Ford F-250 owners (2017–2027) who want a low-profile look without sacrificing radio performance. It suits drivers who use automatic car washes, live in wet or salty climates, or simply prefer a sturdy, easy-to-install replacement made with high-conductivity internals and corrosion-resistant hardware.
