Ranger 5 Shortfalls

[Philvarah]

Yes we all know about the deletes in 2022 from earlier years...

But WTF... They do not sell Gatorade or Powerade in Ausi Land....

My Powerade bottle won't fit in my Ranger console cup holders!!
All my F150's years could accommodate larger bottles...

Now I have to get out my cordless drill and hole saw to retrofit....!!!

Man... Not sure if all the other midsize competition trucks have this problem...
If I had known this prior to purchasing... Would I still have bought a Ranger.... Yes
But the trauma recovery of knowing no Gatorade or Powerade can be used without mods would be over by now.

I can live with the other deletes and missing accessories.. glove box light and damper... Hood dampers.... No trash can...Etc...

But... The cup holders are too f'n small...??
When was Gatorade invented?... Before the Ranger 5 I'm sure.

I am depressed.... Now my larger water bottles roll all over the interior risking me to get in an accident. Have to take out extra auto insurance....Gonna have to get some industrial Velcro mod action going I guess..

How are you coping?
Any ideas all ???

I grew up with large and wide glass bottles of Gatorade. Wish they'd bring them back!

Gatorade was invented 1965 so we didn’t have cup holders per say. Had ash trays and cigar lighters though! ?

How am I coping...Just pour it into a tumbler that fits the cupholders. I mean is every manufacturer supposed to cater to the thousands of different size bottles out there?

 

[AzScorpion]

I bought these hooks that fit the back of my headrest and my tumbler hangs from them. I put mine on the passengers side so it's an easy reach. First world problems. ?

That's gotta be the last straw I would buy a frontier if I were you!
Can't wait to see the hole saw pics

I agree, this is America we don't do anything small. XXL cupholders in all vehicles should be the LAW! ???????????

I'll take your truck off your hands for $100. Then you can buy a proper cup holder?

Think I can mod cheaper... Thanx anyway

I'm just saying, a Nalgene should be the standard for cup holders.

If it doesn't fit a normal Nalgene, it's garbage...

I realize that I'm not asking much from Ford... But come on .. my large bottle can't fit in the center console.... It's 2022 for goodness sake.... Kids get everything... Adults are now last... They have more rights too... Not fair... Maybe I should go to the next Ford Shareholders meeting as I own stock... Get this no large cup holder conspiracy put to bed.... I'll take my bottle and show them the problem... Maybe suggest an option addon or something.... We'll see...

I lost my fiberglass snake pot pipe and my moonshine bottle in the 70's.... Too bad... That looks great!

I have a bad shoulder from rescuing my wife's Shitpoo under the couch... ripped my tendon.. can't do....

Nalgenes fit in the door and it's gigantic. Why wouldn't a Gatorade bottle fit?
