Another unfortunate drawback of the cup holders is the slots cut in the bottom of the rubber. If you spill anything in the cup area it will leak under the rubber and stay there. These are made not to be removed easily. I did remove mine and cut the tabs off the sides. It slides in and out easy now and I take it to the sink to wash it off now.

Can anyone put together a pictorial of how to take it out? Mine wont budge. I would like ot take it in and rise once in a while.

 

Here is a post I made when I took mine out. Look at the bottom of page 2 post #30. I have posted about this before. It just pulls up there are tabs at the red circles that I cut off after I got it out.

Not wanting to beat a dead horse, but is there/are there cupholders from any other chevy product that will swap out the three dinky ones in my 2014 silverado work truck? The three cupholders in the center console/seat back are just too small. If there were a stock unit that was a direct swap, i'd be all over it. Thanks in advance.

I like them fine, nothing moves around. Normal cups, cans, water bottles, coffee mugs, fit nice and snug.

I agree, that is my only issue I have with my new truck. Way to small, they fit a 500ml (16oz) water bottle but thats it, nothing bigger. Its a snug fit for my tim hortons cup too.

I guess if you want to fit a big gulp, you can use the passenger side seat belt. Every normal drink device I put there fits. It was meant to be snug. My travel mug holds 3 cups fits great. If they made it any bigger the complainers out there would bit.h about their drinks getting to cold or hot, GM should of though of that.

I guess from these responses, the answer is that no one knows of one you could swap in.

It is seriously a pain. I have a 30 oz Yeti mug with the necked down bottom. I would love to use it but only slides down about an inch into these cup holders. I was wondering if anyone had found an aftermarket fix for this. By the way I have a 2012 model for work and out easily fits in it.

      New or used

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Certainly as the new model year comes along and that may mean a new refreshed model such as for example the upcoming 2027 half tons and lets just say for arguments sake that current year trucks are in decent supply on the new lot and its not guaranteed but some years and depending on the current economic state that buyers may turn their nose up at the so called old stock/old model and want the "new new" shiny object. When those stars align and in this case GM corporate puts out a great discount on what is becoming the old stock as well as dealers willing to deal to get that inventory off the lot, that's when it would be easier to deal as long as, as it was pointed out that your willing to take what is there for choice of inventory in an area that makes sense to you shopping wise. What you don't get deals on or typically so is the incoming new toy in the showroom, that is where if they don't have much inventory of the new model year and customers that are willing to pay to beat the Joneses and will pay top dollar for it just because. Also sometimes there is that vehicle that few are interested in for whatever reason in how its equipped that becomes two years old and they really want to get rid of that vehicle. New in all cases and warranty the same typically although plan on changing that battery out on the older used one, lot rot of batteries with todays vehicles that draw power constantly.    I too was just too leery about buying a newer used truck as I know how all too many seem to treat their vehicle maintenance wise and up here in Canada there wasn't the used market to choose from like one would assume because of all the bull crap going on with under a year old trucks and under certain mileage being bought up by USA brokers and being hauled/driven south to be sold in the sates so the used price was too demanding here. Also a certain insurance coverage I wanted was only available on a new truck at time of purchase and not even a so called new demo on a lot could have that no depreciation loss coverage. I made the best deal I could on a truck I personally chose for options on an order so they knew it was most likely sold before it ever hit their lot so no lot interest charges for the dealer to swallow. I also wanted a new vehicle so that I could plaster the crap out of it underneath with fluid film and see if that will help slow down the rust issues we have here due to the crap they spread on the winter roads.

      2026 Silverado 2500 Surround Vision Recording?

      Sure...but there is no "update" to be had.  GM has not issued any support for this.

      You mean it's not supported yet in the trucks. The hardware is certainly there. The software just needs updated.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      Is the carbon pro bed still a thing? I figured it was one of those things that quietly disappeared from low take rate.   I thought Chevrolet tried adding it too...   Minimal.   Despite all the 'all new' versions since GMT-800, lots of parts still swap from generation to generation.   I've seen a bunch of GMT-800s with a K2 rear bumper on them.

      We still haven't seen the GMC's. I expect the Chevys to more orr less match the Fords, but with no all aluminum body and simple SBC, be significantly more affordable. I'm hoping GMC offers the 6.7 engine and lays it all out on the line. My main question? More premium GMC's already use composite leads out back. Does Chevy get any? What other frame/suspension changes?
