I have run all my cars through a car wash with the antenna mast still on. All my Fords, and Chryslers. Never an issue. Unfortunately it takes one persons failure for everyone to learn. Now that we know a car wash will rip the antenna base out of an aluminum F150 those that have them know they need to be removed.
gotta love your logic here. 1 Antenna ripped out of F-150= all F-150's will have the antenna ripped out.
Warning warning: Suburban has door destroyed by carwash, hand wash only!

My point is that we don't know the situation that damaged the f-150. Could be aluminum isn't strong enough, could be issue with car wash equipment.
Looks suspiciously like a steel bodied Ram to my eye.
