The 4-Runner was a standard internal combustion engine. The Ford Lightning
is an EV. With the EV's comes a massive amount of RFI. It's so bad that
manufacturers are eliminating AM radio from their vehicles.
I'd venture a guess the problem is not with the antenna, but with the EV
technology in general.

Enclosed is the photo of a car antenna's mounting. Note it is a single
pin. Also enclosed is a picture of my Baofeng's antenna post. Note that
the car antenna is a single post/pin. The Baofeng's antenna has a pin
inside a mounting. Thus, to measure the Baofeng's antenna you simply
connect it to the nanavna. How to do the car antenna???
The reason I ask is experience with my old Toyota 4Runner's radio and my
new Ford Lightning's radio. The 4Runner radio would work 50 to 80 miles
from a tower. The Lightning will start to fade 20 miles from the same
towers. Is the fault with the antenna or the radio???
Thank you for any cogent answer. larry
