    Was buying the Super Duty a way to compensate for something? Sorry, I guess I should've fawned over your cute little woodworking project more. Nice Job @nickel plate you got mad skills!!! Why it looks like its from a mid 80's Centurion up-fitted full size van conversion..

     

    twinnads,-This is my third F-250 XLT all bought new for hauling horses, cattle and tractors, first one purchased was in1990 so I'm no squealy assed CUTE bus stop virgin so drop that sh*t  keyboy .  It's quite apparent that you don't like what I posted here to show others with basic wood working skills that there is a way to have a decent cup holder without dropping the center consul on a 2020 XLT.

  2. I'm not one to lower the center console at any time, it's cumbersome and quite frankly annoying when down but it does have the cup holders.  We live in a region that has triple digit heat 30+ days per summer so water bottles even on a short drive are essential so I designed/built my  own  utilizing that lower opening in the dash below the radio and A/C controls.  Now pressure anchored in that dash cubby space and the base of the console It's totally rock solid and also removeable via wing nuts.  The console if I ever put it down and my custom built cup holder do not interfere  with each other even with water bottles in place.

  3. Hello all, new to this forum but not new to the F-250 XLT diesel trucks.  First one was a 1990 7.3 air aspirated, number two was a 2002 7.3 turbo and the third is a 2020 6.7 turbo with the ten speed transmission.

    Since the first one was a manual four speed, it doesn't fit in my question but the second does as it was an automatic transmission.

    I find that this new 6.7 diesel/ten speed auto seems to take a long time to coast down when approaching a stop light or sign, in fact it takes more than double the space to do so as opposed to my old 2002.  I'm very conservative when it comes to braking but this current long distance coasting characteristic in the new 2020 is not to my liking.  Is this normal or do I need to let Ford look at it?
