I can't imagine how it could work for you, I also have a Hydroflask not that it matters. Returning it now.
I've had it a couple of weeks. I removed the large sleeve and it works for me.

Does it make contact with the bottom of the cup holder? I can take a picture of what I'm talking about if I need to.

No issue with the cup holder for me. The biggest real issue I have with this truck is the poor visibility/driver side blind spot. I'd trade this BLISS system in for the integrated convex mirrors my '11 had if I could!

No, it does not for me but its far enough and a snug fit. My hydro flask fits and hasn't come out yet. Better than rolling around in my passenger seat. If you find something better please let me know.

The cup holders suck!! Not sure why so many say it's stupid to talk about them. I mean, we drink coffee in our trucks more than we use reverse lights and more than we use the extra 20-30 hp that we mod. I looked here to see if I could find a insert to fit different size bottles, but I guess they don't make one? It would be great to grab an insert when I have a water bottle, that I can remove when I have a coffee cup. Is this a thing? I hate driving around with my hand on my drink. If I turn and try to turn up the radio, it's a disaster.

I agree about the blind spot. I don't recall it being as bad on the 2010. I have the blind spot detection and it has saved me a couple of times.

The side view mirror on the drivers side could be better. I find myself constantly moving my head around to search the mirror for traffic, no matter how I adjust it. I wanted the Tow Mirrors for exactly this reason, but ended up with a truck with the standard mirrors. I also wish they auto-tilted down when in reverse...makes lining up against a curb much easier than using the cameras.
