So my family is back to having two dogs.  Trouble is that now we have a dog taking up the jump seat in the front of my truck and I can't use cup holders in the flip down seat back.

Does anyone have good options for adding at least a single cup holder so I can keep my coffee flowing?

 

My thoughts so far:

Buy the generic holder that you can get on Amazon / Menards / Auto store.  Question:  How are folks securing this sort of thing? 

- There doesn't appear to be a great place to secure it unless I could cut it to match up to the contour of the floor in front of the jump seat.

- Could order floor liners that cover the center hump and secure it to there somehow?  This is a fair expense just for a cup holder though ?

I can't imagine screwing a cup holder through the carpet is a great idea.

 

What's worked for others?

Should have added. Two kids, Two dogs, my Wife and I. Otherwise, yes. Dogs ride in the back. As it stands, for trips it's either a dog or a kid but the seat's occupied.

 

Theyre in the bed for hunting but I'm a pushover and feel bad for family trips when it's really hot / cold.

Use the built in cup holder in the door. It's kind of out of the way but it works

This may be evidence that I need a vacation. Didn't even think of that bc it's been holding my hand sanatizer. Can't believe I didn't arrive at this.

I knew you never thought of that.
That's why I didn't rag on you.[emoji23][emoji24][emoji2957]

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

But you and I? We are not doing this.
