2016 Titanium Cupholders

[edjunior]

Well, I've had this car for about a month and a half now.  Overall, I am happy with it.  But one thing I have come to really not like is, the cupholders.  Especially the rear cupholders.  They are shallow and don't seem to hold anything in them.  We use them for "refills" for our water up front, especially on longer trips.  The cupholders won't even hold a standard crappy plastic water bottle, much less a cup from a fast food restaurant.  So, I am looking for solutions.  I've got a couple of "inserts" saved to my cart in Amazon, but I wanted to check here and see what everyone else is using or doing (if modding the cupholders instead).  The fronts are okay, but even they don't work very well for some of the cups we happen to use.  So enough rambling.  I would appreciate any ideas.

Ahhh drink holders. One of tbe greatest items of complaint over the entire Ford product line. Over in the F150 forum, a guy with a 2016 (if I remember correctly) was so pissed he yanked out his console and installed one from a 2018 (if I remember correctly, later year, better drink holders). Had to do a little finalgleing but got it to fit. Dancing in the garage now. 

 

One problem with the drink explanders is they don't allow two to sit side-by-side. One crowds the other. This one allows this buy allowing you to offsit the holders when you install them.

So fix is install console from later year (if Ford changed them to larger size as they did in the F150), install a floor stand-alone console, or offset drink holder enlargers. Buy good quality. Cheapers ones don't hold up well (walls bend) and if too tight, pull out when pulling out an oversized cup.
