—A base for the truck that is standing still

Your truck is parked twenty-three hours a day.

Name: The Center Console Cup Holder
Brand: Steadi Labs

The AAA Foundation puts US drivers at 60.4 minutes behind the wheel a day, across 2.44 trips. Across the Atlantic the RAC Foundation has a twenty-five-year series saying the same thing: the average car is driven just 4% of the time, and parked at home for 73% of it.

Your console cup holder was engineered for that one hour. This is a 5.2-inch base for the other twenty-three — lunch on the tailgate, coffee on the toolbox lid, a drink on the seat while you do paperwork.

The well is for driving. The tailgate is for working.

Every figure below is a manufacturer’s or a research foundation’s own published number, read on 3 September 2026.

Time driving

60.4 min

per day, average

AAA Foundation, 2024: 2.44 trips, 60.4 minutes, 31.1 miles a day. The console holder does its job for that hour and it does it well.

Time parked

96%

of the day

The RAC Foundation’s England series: driven 4% of the time, parked at home 73%, parked elsewhere 23%. That 23% is the job site, the trailhead and the school line.

The fast-food cup

2 7/8″

what wells were sized for

A Dart 32 oz foam cup — the drive-through standard — is 2 7/8 inches at the bottom and 4 5/8 at the top. That taper is what a console well is shaped around.

So: outside the well

$14.95

a flat surface

A 5.2-inch base — far too wide for any well, which is the point. Tailgate, toolbox lid, seat, console tray, fender.

—What the tumbler makers actually say

Stanley says the 40 oz fits most truck holders. We are not going to argue with them.

Stanley’s own words: “Sizes up to 40 oz will comfortably fit most car and truck cupholders”
And they publish the base at 3.1 inches, described as “Car cup holder compatible”. If your console takes it, it takes it, and nothing on this page suggests otherwise.
YETI publishes a minimum instead
Their 35 and 42 oz Straw Mugs are “designed to fit in a standard cupholder” with a stated “minimum of 3 inches”. Below three inches of well, their own answer is no.
And the expander makers publish the real spread
One states that a regular car cup holder runs 2.75 to 3.25 inches. An F-150 owner on a forum puts his own console tighter than that: “Any bottle/mug barely over 2.5″ diameter starts binding uncomfortably.” Another, on a Lightning, measured a bottle that fits: 3.125 inches at the base.
Which is the whole point: the well is a lottery and this is not in it
A 5.2-inch base does not go in any of them. It stands on a surface instead, so console diameter stops being a question you have to answer.

A can standing in a white Steadi on the open tailgate of a white pickup truck. — The tailgate. Where most of the day’s drinking actually happens.

—Does it actually work

It wobbles. Then it settles.

Somebody drops a toolbox lid or leans on the tailgate and the drink comes back level instead of going over. The base is 5.2 inches across and spreads the load rather than balancing on a point.

Filmed on a couch cushion — softer and less predictable than a tailgate, which is the easiest surface it has.

—How it holds

Width, and nothing else.

The base

5.2 inches across and fixed — deliberately wider than any console well, because it is not trying to get into one.

The fins

Six of them, holding the bottom inch. Cans and bottles slide on from the top; tumblers drop in. Drink and base then rock as one piece.

The bedliner

Grippy TPU on a spray-in liner or a steel toolbox lid plants where it is set. It marks nothing and lifts away clean.

See the packs — from $14.95

—The object

One piece of rubber. Nothing to install.

No expander ring to force into a well, no adapter cut for one truck, no liner set, no adhesive. It goes on the surface and it comes off. Throw it behind the seat.

Several sizes of can standing in Steadis side by side, from a slim can to a tallboy. — Slim can to tallboy. Bases between two and three inches all seat.

—What seats and what does not

Bases between two and three inches. Measure the bottom, not the rim.

A standard 12 oz can is 2.6 inches across the bottom. A 40 oz Stanley Quencher is 3.1 — Stanley’s own published figure — and seats snug here. A Dart 32 oz foam cup is 2 7/8 at the bottom and seats fine, even though its 4 5/8-inch top makes it look impossible. A mug with a handle does not seat at all.

Search by container

Every width below comes from a published specification, not from us. Where a spec is uncertain, the answer says so.

A width across the bottom of the cup, in inches.

Without a tape measure

A standard sticky note is three inches square. A cup standing on one with its base inside the paper will seat.

Anything borderline — hello@steadilabs.com reaches a person, and the answer will be honest either way, including a no.

—Where they end up

Tailgate, toolbox lid, seat, console tray, fender.

Lunch on the tailgate at the job site. Coffee on the toolbox lid at six in the morning. A drink on the passenger seat while you do paperwork in a car park. The flat top of the console when the truck is off. And then, on a Saturday, the same four surfaces at a ball game.

Twelve colours, and the picker assigns one per unit, which on a crew truck is how anybody keeps track of theirs.

—What the aisle costs

Everything here is engineered to get into the well.

Prices were looked up on 3 September 2026, not estimated. Every figure is the seller’s own.

The product	Price	What it needs, in its own words
JOYTUTUS cup holder expander	$19.99	“Suitable for regular car cup holder with a diameter of 2.75-3.25 inches.” So you need to know your well before you buy the thing that fixes your well.
Ultimate Expander, to 4.0″	$19.99	“Holds any bottles or mugs from 3.4″ - 4.0″ in diameter.” A three-ring expander that sits in the well.
Gorilla Grip cup holder expander	$23.99	“Fit most round cup holders from 2.6 to 3.7 inches in diameter.” Round ones. Not every console well is round.
Crossroads 3D F-150 console adapter	$38.95	Cut for one truck and one generation — F-150 2021–2024. Precision-designed around the tapered bottom of a Yeti.
ToughTested Power Cup XL	$49.00	Holds to 64 oz, with a phone mount. Real engineering, and it lives in the console.
CupHolderHero liner set, RAM 1500	$50.99	Thirty pieces, one truck, 2019–2022. It protects the console rather than holding anything.
The Center Console Cup Holder	$14.95 · four for $39.95, $9.99 each	Nothing. It does not go in the well — it is 5.2 inches across and stands on the tailgate, the lid or the seat.

If the problem is genuinely inside the console while you are driving, buy an expander. They are good products, they cost about twenty dollars, and this is not a substitute for one — it does not go in a well and it is not for use while the truck is moving. Different job entirely.

One of these mentions a car. None is from a job site.

Verbatim, unedited, not filtered by rating. They are here because they describe hard surfaces and workbenches, which is what a truck is for most of its day.

★★★★★

Our seats are metal benches with a slight slope towards the back, making it impossible to set down any type of drink. They worked perfect, holding our drinks on the bench & on our cooler. I highly recommend for sporting fans, boaters, outdoor adventures.

They also stay steady on the little wobbly patio table outside.

This stability sleeve product is great. Really stabilizes your drink container and eliminates the chance of kids or pets accidentally knocking the drink over. Ordered a 2 pack to see how well it works. Will order more to give to family at Christmas

—The limits, in one place

What it does not do.

It is not for use while the truck is moving.
It has no clamp, no strap and nothing holding it down, so it is for a truck that is parked with the engine off. Nothing loose belongs in a moving cab, and this is loose. That is the leading limit and it is not buried anywhere.
It does not go in your cup holder.
It is 5.2 inches across the foot. No console well takes that, and it is not designed to — if what you need is something that fits in the well, buy an expander for about twenty dollars.
Stanley says the 40 oz fits most truck holders, and we are not disputing it.
Their published line is “Sizes up to 40 oz will comfortably fit most car and truck cupholders.” If yours does, you may not need anything at all.
A handled mug does not seat.
The handle lands exactly where the fins grip. That includes the travel mug with the handle on it.
It is not spill-proof — nothing is.
It resists tipping by widening the footprint. A toolbox lid dropped hard still wins.

—If it turns out to be the wrong thing

Ninety days. Used is fine. Nothing goes back in a box.

Ninety days of job sites is a fair test. If the answer is no, hello@steadilabs.com reaches a person and the money comes back — no form, no restocking fee, no questions about condition, and nothing to pack up or post. Grease, sawdust and coffee included.

You order. Free shipping, every order, always.

—Who makes it

Steadi Labs. One person, in Orange, California.

The steel injection mould open in the machine, the cavity that forms the base visible. — The mould, in the machine.

Scott Rodriguez at a workbench, holding a terracotta Steadi and looking at it, with shipping boxes behind him. — Scott, who makes them.

Scott Rodriguez made the first one after a full drink went over on a soft cushion with three kids under three in the house. It was built for spills, not for trucks.

Nobody on a job site asked for this page. It exists because a wide base does the same thing on a tailgate as it does on a couch, and because a truck spends about an hour a day being a vehicle and the rest of it being a place to stand.

We make one thing and we make all of it here — the moulds, the material, the colour runs, everything within about three and a half miles of the shop.

—Questions

Straight answers.

Does it go in my console cup holder?

No. It is 5.2 inches across the foot and no well takes that. It is designed to stand on a surface, which is why console diameter never comes into it.

Can I use it while I’m driving?

No. It has nothing holding it down, so it belongs to a truck that is parked with the engine off. For a drink secured while you are moving, an expander or a proper mount is the right product.

My 40 oz already fits. Do I need this?

Maybe not, and Stanley says the same — “sizes up to 40 oz will comfortably fit most car and truck cupholders.” This is for the tailgate and the toolbox lid, not for the well.

Will it stay on a spray-in bedliner?

Yes. Grippy TPU on a textured liner plants well, and the 5.2-inch foot is what stops a knock tipping it. It lifts off clean.

Will it hold a 32 oz fountain drink?

Yes. A Dart 32 oz foam cup is 2 7/8 inches at the bottom, which is inside the range, even though the 4 5/8-inch top looks like it should not work.

Does it mark a painted tailgate?

It marks nothing and lifts clean. No adhesive, no suction, no hardware.

Will it survive a truck in summer?

Shore 85A TPU, dishwasher safe, no adhesive and no moving parts. Long-term UV exposure is not something we have tested, so we do not make a claim about it.

Why does this site only sell one thing?

Because it is one thing. It is a Steadi, made by Steadi Labs in Orange, California, and checkout finishes at steadilabs.com where the company lives.

—Still deciding

$14.95 and it does not even go in the console.

Correct, and that is stated at the top rather than discovered at delivery. The expanders are about twenty dollars and they do go in the console. This is for the twenty-three hours the truck is not moving.

I’ll just buy the adapter for my truck.

Reasonable, and the F-150 one is $38.95. Note it is cut for one truck and one generation, so it does not move to the next one.

Is it one more thing rolling around the cab?

It is, and it should be stowed before you drive. 2.8 inches tall, 3.6 ounces, and they nest — behind the seat with everything else.

Will it look out of place in a work truck?

It is matte rubber in gunmetal, worn denim and tobacco among others, with no branding readable across a bed. Hi-Vis exists if you would rather find it fast.

Your truck is parked twenty-three hours a day.
