Default Bigger center console Cup Holder option?

Just grabbed my 2015 Sport and my Nalgene water bottle doesnt fit in any of the cup holders. Im about to start tearing things apart cause I really need this to fit as I take it everywhere with me.
Fit perfectly in my Expedition but not in the F150.
Any ideas/ mods I may be missing?.... Other than getting a smaller bottle.

Annoying but hardly a problem. Does show some oversight by ford on the "little" things though.

I loved my '04 Ram's cup holders. They were huge. I don't know why ford doesn't design larger cup holders considering most truck buys are guys and bigger and more likely to have a physical job that requires more hydration.

Again, it's those little things that make a difference sometimes.

From the link above, I also have the Yeti and it works great and fits perfectly.

I thought about that but there really isnt much there to take out with out removing the entire set of cupholders. Ill have to tear it down later and see what I can do.

There is no liner and removing the entire insert is useless and a PITA. I think this is a bit of a step back from the Expedition we have. That and the fact that water bottles don't sit upright in the door pockets.

Only solution is a stepped coffee/drink cup.

I got pics of the inside parts of the floor console I can post if I remember later.

Worth every penny. I think their slogan is excellent:

If you take the liner out it will sit in there upside down fairly securely. Not ideal but way better than the previous model years.

I posted in that other thread too, and will chime in another vote for the Yeti Rambler.

It. Is. Awesome.

Get one, and you'll seriously never go looking for a Nalgene water bottle ever again (whatever that is...).
