Default Cupholder solutions

2014 SCREW FX4

Does anyone use anything different for their cupholders? It seems either my drink is too small and it gets tippy around corners, or it's so big that I need to hold the rubber insert down with one hand and pull the drink with the other or else it stays stuck around the cup... Any ideas? Preferably something that looks somewhat OEM

Insert works great for most cups from restaurants or gas stations, 20oz bottles, 12oz cans, and many water bottles. I often have these 1-1.25L Coke bottles that have to have the insert removed and then flop around because they aren't big enough for the full cupholder, kind of a pain. I just deal with those because they work for me. If I take the time to keep them clean and whatnot, I have 32oz insulated Kleen Kanteen that I purchased specifically because they just fit in the cupholder (no insert) and in my golf cart. For a couple bottles we have that stick in the insert, I often just let it pick it up. If it isn't coming off, it won't come off while drinking. Then, put the whole thing back down.

Since Pepsico started with the 16.9 OZ bottles around here in the 6 packs instead of the 24 oz bottles they flop around also, I use my Pilot Styrofoam cup and just pour them into it with a little ice from the ice maker at work. We have a fleet of F550 and F650's at work that I drive so I have the same thing in all of them as I do in my FX2.

I have spent to much time trying to come up with some hack for this. The best thing i found is to rotate the cup a 1/4 turn as I pull up on it pops right out, Otherwise as Spiky suggested leave it on and tell everyone its a motorcraft koozie.
