The adapter puts out a a max of 23dbi and the antenna has a 7dbi gain....
I'm thinking that I'm going to have some pretty damn fine reception in the truck...
Unless there's someone that knows more than I who knows why my proposed setup needs improvement.....

Just keep in mind the losses of the cable. Depending on the cable used and the connectors used, you will lose significant amounts of power and reception, though the truth is, almost any external antenna will be an improvement over a built in antenna.
