So it was recently brought up in one of the threads that the antenna location was still, what im going to call, classic antenna, not a shark fin one. I have seen photos with both the classic and shark fin antennas. Does anybody know for sure what the production models have. I dont really care which one, just curious since somebody brought it up.

RaptorBlueScrew,
AM/FM antenna? UHF/VHF? Satellite radio? GPS? Give us a bit more info and you will get a better response....

If you google image search for 2017 Ford Raptor, you can see where the two antenna's are mounted. I imagine they will be the same location when we see them hit the lots. I do like how they put it closer to the cowl and not on the fender. But I still see Craven having a replacement for a stubby.

The Foutz Motorsports Raptor has a shorty antenna.

Sorry my mistake by describing it as shark fin, I looked back at some photos and its not a shark fin, just that oval shape. I guess what i was referring to is the am/fm and based on the picture above and as stated above, my question is answered. Any reason ford chose this route over one of the sleeker antennas?

I think he is confusing it with the Chevy Reaper.

That truck is hideous in my opinion

My 2017 is losing GPS signal. Is the antenna located on the passenger side roof?
