Searching for a deeper cup holder for center console

[EricHunter]

I've got a 2002 Chevy Tahoe Z71 and my drinks fall out of the cup holders when I make a turn. I know there is space underneath the cup holder in the center console. Does anyone make an aftermarket cup holder that I could install that would be deeper or hold drinks better? I've already searched eBay and Amazon. Thanks. I attached photos of the original OEM one that is too shallow.

I’ve never seen anything deeper. buy a replacement (junkyard, ebay, etc) and cut the bottom off so your cups drop down further... as the cup gets wider up top it will stop it from falling through. When you get it to your desired depth, plastic weld the extra plastic back ..on.

I saw a tread a while back where a guy took his out and used a hole saw to install a cup holder Like below through the bottom of his original holder to make it deeper. You would need to do some measuring.

My daughter -- in a Sierra Denali -- was having trouble fitting her mug at all. It's 30 oz, and the console cup holders are tiny. I asked in a Sierra forum, and they suggested this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DZCE6I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Even with the delivery fee, it was $2-$3 cheaper than anything else I could find. My daughter's mug is now a little loose; she's talking about putting a small amount of felt in it to hold her mug tightly. Regardless, my point was you could get something like that which will sit securely in your cup holders, then carry your drinks in those. Amazon has a large selection of similar items, but the more expensive stuff goes for $15-$25.

Note that by going the insert method, you can still use a mug with a handle.

I had the same ones. They worked good for me.

i dont remember what vehicle i had but similar design and problem. i actually removed those foam rubber bumpers and made some heavier rubber bumpers. only thing that was problematic is foam cups everything else was perfect.

I was having the same problem with a Bronco I owned - went to Home Depot and got a couple pvc pipe couplers and installed them in the oem cupholder - worked well.

McDonalds Large Drinks tend to move around. When you buy these trucks used always coffee spilled between the drivers seat.

That's exactly what I did to mine.

I removed my console cup holder to clean it.....It is plain black plastic... I noticed the factory/molded printing under it. It said " non luxury " ...style. What is the luxury style??
