Best Cup holder
I don't have a lot of great information to share like many of you, but this I know. The best cup holder I've found for my truck is double wide duct tape from Lowes. It's hard to find, but Lowes has a double wide 3M duct tape. I keep two rolls on the center floor hump of my trucks. They hold most any cup I use often, and the postition of the rolls make it very stable. The stupid cup holders that came with the trucks only lead to coffee all over my truck. It also has the added benifit of keeping duct tape in my truck at all times. It's over $9 bucks a roll, but it's well worth it.

Frazier64 if you still have the original cupholders( cupthrowers!! ) in that 99 I understand your pain . I went to Ford and ordered a new style one...... ouch $119.00, but what ever I put in there stays put .

I have drink throwers too. Might have to try that! I actually have a little metal basket that I have taped to the hump on my floor that I use for my purse, because...well the way I drive, it usually ends up thrown against the passenger's side door panel and everything falls into the door pocket!

When I bought my truck it had the 'newer style' cup holder already in place, and a 32 or 44oz. drink doesn't go anywhere. I keep trying to find an '01 or newer SD that I can steal the flip-down center portion of the bench from to have 4 cup holders! I'd actually use the console ones for my phone(s) because I drive like Lisa and I'm worried about denting my passenger door!
Don't feel too bad though - my '96 Passat doesn't have cupholders!!! German engineering my @$$!!!

Yup and you can't figure out whats worse at that point the coffee mess all over the truck......or the much needed coffee all over the truck.

Heck, I don't even have carpet. When my truck was ordered new, it was ordered with the rubber floor. To this date, I have yet to see another Lariat with the rubber floor...not sure that I've even seen another SD with the rubber floor actually. Spills are pretty easy to clean up and no carpet to worry about staining.
