Default Let's talk about the biggest downfall of these trucks

The cup holders. I mean really what the hell are they designed for. A normal coffee cup barely fits, any even slightly oversized does not. Monster cans/water bottles flop around and spill. Nalgene might as well forget about every fitting one of those bad boys. This may sound like a silly complaint, but man I like to have beverages when I drive and these cup holders are the most worthless things on the planet. Pretty much the only thing I don't like about my new truck. /rant

I've got the council shift with plenty of cup holders. I feel the truck is the real deal. I wish it could run for free. Lol. It's latest mod !

I also have a console shift and have plenty of cup holders. My point was they're a silly size. To small for nalgenes, coffee cups, to big for cans/bottles

They fit standard soda bottles perfect. As do the typical 16-24oz cups from most anyplace. If this is the worst problem you have, you're doing well...

I don't have any issues with the cupholders in mine. I also have the center console and I can fit a blender bottle or a 24oz Wawa coffee in without any issues.
