Cup Holders for Ford Ranger

Ford Ranger Cup Holders

You may remember times when you had to hold a cup of hot coffee or cold soda in your hand as you drove your Ford Ranger. Maybe you tilted your drink ever so carefully against the seat beside you and prayed that it didn’t spill or gave the drink to your passenger to hold. Thankfully, there are sturdy and even stylish cup holders for your Ranger.

Many of the holders, like other parts of your vehicle, are made specifically for your Ford Ranger. The good news is that there are universal cup holders you can install in your vehicle. They include those with a tab that you can place in the groove between a window and the inside of the door of your model. Others have suction cups that hold them to a surface and can support smaller cups and cans.

They are mostly made out of sturdy plastic, though simpler ones are made of stainless steel. Features include bottom pads with LED light covers and slots for your smartphone, credit cards, and loose change. Some fit on your door while some are made to fit in your Ford Rangers center console.

There are various sizes to fit your pickup. A standard-sized holder has a diameter that’s just right for a water bottle or a 12-ounce can of soda, which is a little over two and 2/3 inches in diameter. A jumbo one can hold a cup that is 4 inches in diameter. Some come with spring-loaded clips that can hold a smaller cup or bottle steady even if it is placed in a jumbo-sized holder.

Food trays can certainly hold cups. These versatile items can be attached to the doors, the seat arms, or even the rear view mirror in your truck. They are adjustable to make it easy to grab a hamburger or a milkshake while you drive while keeping your eyes on the road.

• First, make sure to clean up all spills right away.
• A good idea is to install rubber liners that can be easily taken out of your Ford and washed. Many of these liners can be put in the dishwasher.
• One trick is to put an old sock or rag at the bottom of the cup holder, then give it a few spritzes of window cleaner. Twist the rag around the bottom, then use a pick or skewer to loosen any debris that remains. Clean out what remains with another clean cloth.
• You can also use soapy warm water. Pour some into the holder and let it stand for a few minutes. Then, use a dry rag to soak up the remaining water. You may need do this more than once until it is clean.
