Nowadays, there are a lot of impressive features on the modern vehicle, but think about the feature you absolutely use nearly every time you set foot in the vehicle, and you may be surprised at the answer. You'll find that it's not advanced features like the heated seating or the infotainment system, but rather the cup holders that will most regularly see use. Whether it's keeping your beverage close at hand, providing handy space for your wallet or phone, or being a go-to place to find change for a toll road, the cup holder has always proved its worth as one of the most consistently useful features in automotive design, and now Ford is finally doing the cup holder justice with its innovative new design on the upcoming 2017 Ford Super Duty.
Available with the 2017 Super Duty is something that ford calls the "transformative, four-barrel cup holder", and as its name might suggest, it's more than meets the eye. While it may look like a normal, albeit expansive, two-slot cup holder at first glance, a quick shift of the low-profile top plate transforms it into a full set of four cup holders, providing plenty of room for you and all your passengers. But if you find yourself driving alone and think perhaps four is a few too many coffees for one person to drink, no worries! Shifting the top plate to the right reveals an spacious storage area big enough for wallets and phones, and if you remove the bottom, it becomes a storage cubby with enough room for small tablets and maps. How cool is that?!
True, the transformative four-barrel cup holder is nowhere near the most advanced feature on the 2017 Super Duty, which includes Adaptive Cruise Control, seven different cameras, and even built-in low profile front headlight washers, but with its versatility and and driver-centric design, this cup-holder is among the coolest we've ever seen.
