Picked up my '17 AT last week and I almost jerked the whole center console out trying to the cup holder assembly out!! When did they change that? That was a nice hiding spot. My Glock 33 fit perfectly

Stuff does indeed get under there. I went to the post office with three envelopes lying in the area in front of the cup holders. When I got there, there only two envelopes were in that tray.. The e

Yep I had an envelope with $1K cash slide in there. That was about 10 minutes of panic!!!!

Well this is just horse$hit! I didn’t find out til after I bought the 2018 truck. Loved it on my ‘15.

Crap....same here now!!! Now that is just wasted space...   I almost broke it when I pulled it off, thinking it was hard just because it was new...and then what like wtf.

The 14-15 trucks have the removeable cupholder. From 16 on, they're fixed (don't know about the 19's).

I took the cupholder out of my 16 to take a peek at the setup and see what my options were.

 

Ended up adding a second cup holder and leaving the original in place. I don't have access to the larger storage but it does help organize the top and hides some items from site in the small storage area

 

I do have the charger and I don't think there is new equipment under there. Looks the same as other years

How did you get yours out? Everyone after your post has said the 16' and newer are not removable. Are there clips or screws or did you just yank?

The rear cupholder piece isn't designed to be removed but yes it can be taken apart.  It has clips that hold it in place.  The first time it is a little tough to get off but comes off easier each time.

 

Unless you are doing custom work there is no real reason to take this off.  You can add the 14-15 extra cupholder in front of this but this has to stay in place.

I know it’s an old thread but I’m considering a minor mod to a “16” cup holder. There’s a video on youtube of a guy modifying (for firearm concealment) by adding magnets to the side in the tab holes for quick release, which I think is a clean idea. I would want do it similar but not exactly the same. I recently rerouted a charger cable through the console so the cup holder was removed in the process. It got me considering the mod while the cup holder is out. The storage is simply too valuable to go to waste. 

 

I’ve included pics I took while I deliberate my next steps. Hope they are helpful, if anyone gets on this 4 yr old thread!

Did you just pull straight up to get it out?

Actually fed it down from the top after drilling opening. I then removed the “floor” (it’s like 5/6 screws) of main console compartment, fed a wire with a hook bent on the end, aided by a mirror and flashlight, up to where it was dropped, hooked the chord and pulled it back through. Had to drill another hole through previously removed console “floor” piece, another through the little deep tray of the console and that was it. 

 

I believe you would need to remove the entire center console to get access to feed it up from the bottom as there’s no access point other than the removable floor. 

 

I think the key to the little hack is the right angle charger chords I have. I highly recommend them.  I’m sure some would think this is kinda dumb but I’m a bit ocd about clutter so I love cheap little hacks like this that clean things up.

Traded my 2015 for a 2017 and discovered the cup holder was not removable. I will be ordering the parts to change it over. Used it all the time before and now I miss it. Plus I want to remove the top to route a charging cable for my phone to the front from inside the console.

Please post pics and parts information when done. I didn’t think there were parts available to make this switch possible. Mine isn’t as tight a fit as preferred and need to make some adjustments yet. 

 

I also added a cover to the area just in front of the cup holder which creates another out of sight storage area. Cover can be purchased on amazon for cheap.

Is it possible to remove the hardware and install a 2015 or 2016 removable cup holder in its place. Because the phone charger only works with certain model year phones anyway. So it's sort of useless if you don't have a certain year model phone and take long trips to get a full charge. I prefer the convenience of the storage area over the hardware to charge my phone.

How do you remove it. I really want to use that space. 

If you can find the top trim piece with the removable cup holder from a 2014-2015 truck it will pop right in place of the current one you have. I personally moved the radio screen to the console. To make room for an iPad in the dash.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
