I love my truck

The cup holders really piss me off. You pay a stupid amount of money for a truck, and every single one of it's 4 cup holders, and 8 water bottle holders is useless.

I also can't wait to replace the head unit, so that I can (hopefully) get a navigation system that isn't useless.

I love this truck from a mechanical & aesthetic perspective, but I feel like Toyota really dropped the ball on the tech side.... and the cup holders.

 

Yes im glad u got one

 

My first pass was blue. It came in damaged, and I didn't like the color in person. Second was a silver. For whatever reason a mistake was made and a 75 mile test drive was allowed on my truck. Pass. That brought me to this red one, 4 miles on it, some deep scratches. I got a whopping 400 off for scratches, so 1900 off msrp on the Manual. They offered to lay paint and fix, but I declined. I know eventually worse will happen

 

Sweet im glad you were able to get one, that almost happened to me , i was gunning for a blue metallic, until i opened the door inside the door step there were deep scratches were you can see the metal. They offered a discount and offered to get it professionally painted i still declined.I came back a month later and got the gray metallic which is my second favorite color was out of there less than two hours

 

I love my MT too!!

 

Nice, great too hear. I took mine out today after driving the boring auto and it's just so sweet.

 

Shiiiiiiiit mine will be at 80K in 4, maybe sooner.

 

I got the call today that my truck has arrived at the dealership, will be picking up on Thursday! Look forward to having the same love for mine, hopefully with fewer dislikes

 

what exactly is wrong with the cup holders? they hold cups…

 

Not very well. A large coffee wants to topple out at every moment. I'm not talking a big gulp, a regular large coffee. They are not deep enough and too wide for anything to be held secure.

 

Toyota can’t seem to get cup holders right. In the RAV4 they are too deep, if you get a large coffee to go (16oz) have to grab the cup by the lid, I usually squeeze too hard and the lid comes off as I am pulling up, it falls back into the holder, then coffee ejects out of the cup.

 

They hold disposable paper drive-through cups just fine. For those of us that use an insulated travel mug, we have no place to put them. Cup holders are too narrow.

The bottle holders in the door fit disposable plastic pop & water bottles that you get at the gas station, but they're too small for stainless steel insulated water bottles. They're little more than the truck equivalent of the old kitchen junk drawer.

It would have taken nothing for them to install larger cup holders, with those little tabs to accommodate smaller cups. They did it on the 2nd Gens.

 

They fit what I drink (cans of diet pepsi and iced tea from Sheets that has the smaller bottom to fit) and my wife's insulated coffee cup. But can't you remove the tabs in the front cup holders to accommodate larger cups. Also I bet somebody makes a cup holder insert to accommodate Large drink cups.

I agree the ones in the door are - what's the word ? superfluous (ok I admit I am not really sure what that word means but my smart ass brother used it me recently so I'm trying it out). Anyway who needs 13 cup holders? I rather that be just a door pocket.

 

That works if you have the automatic transmission. You can even buy an after-market replacement if you have a ridiculously oversized travel mug. But those of us with a manual transmission are out of luck.

They do make inserts that slide into the cup holder, but it looks ridiculous, and it sits so high that you can't comfortably reach the gear shift.

 

I feel like the cup holder situation will be my wife's biggest complaint about the truck after all the complaints I have read on here, guess I will be finding out Thursday night.

 

Finally picked up my truck this morning, was a little over 30 miles ho.e and so far am certain I will also love my truck. My travel coffee mug fits great in the cup holder, but not the forward one because the shifter is too close, will see how the wife's travel water cup works out tonight. If she can't secure that she might make me sell the truck immediately!!

 

Cup holder discussion!

 

I will say she approved the cup holder, next test is having her fill the gas tank trying to figure out securing the cap
