I love the truck, but this antenna is so weak. I can barely pick up a station that is broadcasted 30 miles from my house.

I shouldn’t have to order an aftermarket antenna, but:

is there something I can do or order??

Is it screwed on tight, no problems with mine I can get radio stations 60-80 miles away. How much power is your radio station putting out.

I just got my 2024 Ranger Lariat and the AM/FM reception is terrible. Do I need to get a new antennae?

Make sure it's tight mine was a little loose and I get great reception now.

Mine was under the back seat. The dealership must put them on when the truck comes in. They might not have tightened it enough. Mine works good.

Same here.. and by 'tight', just make sure it is snug... take care to not over-tighten. Snug is good enough.

I guess the same person that wasn't checking the glovebox lock also didn't check the antenna.
