Alrightie, when I bought my truck last year, it didn't have any cupholder in the dash. So I found an beat up one off a parts truck on Craigslist, the springs in the arms were wore out, so it cost me like $20.

Fast forward to yesterday, I'm going to work, and I take a right turn kinda sharp, my cup leans to the side and breaks the arm off...

i can look around and find another OEM cupholder, but why seem not to be super friendly with the large cups (I take one of those 30 oz SS tumblers to work).

Does anyone make a cupholder to replace the OEM one that's better? I don't really want one of those generic consoles to take up my middle seat. Can I order a lid for my fold down console that has cup holders?



Thanks everyone. I might put this in the generic SuperDuty area too, but I know y'all are always helpful.

My stock ones are candidly known as cup throwers.

Buy the cheap knock offs that sit on your driver window and can accommodate your choice of beverages.

Otherwise, big bucks.

Tugly has a cup attachment ubnit for the folded down jumpseat. I HAD the p/n-link to it but got lost overtime

 

My '99 had the stock cup throwers. My wife ordered an oem cupholder...from Ford I think...and they've been redesigned. They hold large cups pretty well. By large I mean like large to go cups and some reusable thermo cups.

 

eBay has them, or CL for part out.

 

You can upgrade to the much improved 2002 model of cupholders pretty easy. I did it here with step-by-step pics:

The "upgraded" 2002 versions will still throw your cups if they are very tall and you turn very fast, but in my truck, it seems to be more of an issue on the passenger side than the driver side. The springs in mine are tired, and I should probably replace the unit with a new one which has younger and more energetic springs.

 

I agree, thankful I don't have the old style, don't get me wrong, but the newer style still leave a lot to be desired....

One side of mine seems to have gone, it only has spring tension when you try and push it closed? Guess I will have to order a replacement unit too....

 

I'm wondering if the 2005-2007 versions will slide into our '02's? The new OEM ones on eBay are only a few dollars more than the earlier versions, and the only difference I can see in the pictures is the shape of the handle up front.

 

Hubba whaa??? I never had a throw after upgrading to the 2002 style and I had Mc Donalds large cups in there. What are you guys drinking out of?

 

One of those big 30oz stainless yeti type cups, it has only happened once, so I may not have had it seated right, but my hand still instinctively reaches out in a tight turn......

 

Too rich for my blood. I'll only get to own one of those if someone tosses one out the window and I happen to find it, haha.

 

I just got a brand new cupholder on Ebay for $65 or so.

Also, try smaller cups

 

The only luck I had with the short holder is jamming it closed on the cup. My girlfriend had rolled her truck at the beginning of the month. I took her good cupholder... she doesn't need it anymore.

You can get them on eBay like stated, or somebody parting out a truck.

 

I didn't say it was an actual yeti, I am not paying that price for a cup!! I got mine from Sam's club, 2 pack for something like $20, they work great!
