What I hate about my new Dodge!!!
I now own 2 Dodges. Both are 3500's. The new one is a 04.5 HO Cummins Quad cab. The old one is a 94 Reg cab Dually. Both are great trucks with enough power to pull down a house. But the old one has a huge advantage over the old one. THE CUP HOLDER. The old one has a nice spring loaded and holds many size cups and cans without any problems. The new has 2 HUGE openings that unless you bought the 128 ounce "grotesque Gulp" from 7-11 for 69 cents your drink will fly right out of these holders. Now I did buy this truck used. SO maybe I am missing the rubber inserts, I am not sure. But the way it is setup now. It is completely useless!!!!

If you want cup holders, marshmelow ride, or foo foo interior.......go buy a Chevy.
I bought my Dodge truck for fuel mileage, engine longevity, and drivetrain durabilty.
I was brought up and was until recently a Chevy man. GM has proven to me a major dissapointment.
I work on a fleet of Superdutys everyday. They are plagued electrical gremlins and brake problems.
Dodge CTD was the obvious choice.
I have accepted that out of the box, they are slower, less comfortable, and I feel the looks aren't the best.
Again I feel they are they toughest and most reliable work trucks out of the box.

Man the 3 cup holders in my 06 Mega Cab are awsome. They hold everything from a 12oz can to a overly extra large. The rubber inside kind of form fits to what ever you put in it. It even hold odd shaped things like square coffee mugs. I love them.

Here is an option for you that might help you enjoy your new New Dodge a little bit more!! It's a "cup smoothie" from Genos Garage.

I like the cupholder because the BMW I had in Germany when I was stationed there, did NOT have a cup holder. It's amazing how much you miss a cupholder when you don't have one, or have a crappy one.

they wimped out in 1988 and now I favor the more durable albeit not more comfortable Dodge. I would rather have a Cummins and straight axle in a truck
with wooden seats and no AC than some sissy IFS.
