If it doesn't hold a cup of coffee doing 65MPH then its no cup holder!!! But its still nice to have designated circular flat areas to place drinks

On another note I didnt realize how raised the taillights are. Wow!

The preproduction trucks they had at this past weekend's F-150 drive event still had the old tailgates. When I mentioned the change in the tailgate design to the Ford Rep that was there, he had no clue about it. Jeez, I should have been working the event.

Future Ford option: Heated/cooled tailgate cupholders, $395.00, except you also have to buy the mandatory automatic mirror wiper/washer package which costs $795.00. Oh, and they will be hidden, they only pop out when you push a button, so you don't have to worry about them catching gravel.

The holders are similar to what is on the drop in bedliner. Great for holding cans of wood stain when I am working on a project.

Give me one where the cup won't tip over from being bumped
I think its a great idea, to make it amazing idea they could have made it deeper!

They should have been deeper. They're not even as deep as the other indentations on the tailgate right next to them which is puzzling.
