Laugh me out of here...but how do we get armrest/cupholder confirmation for 4 door?

5280Bronco

i know, it's a stupid topic and hardly anyone cares because we shouldn't need any armrest or cupholders in a serious off road rig.

With that said, many of these great broncos will also be pulling daily/family duty. I would love to be able to confirm if all 4 doors get an armrest in the back seat regardless of seat material, or if it's only on the leather option. Also, it seems that the only armrest that will include the cupholders is on navy pier on the FE and not the same leather seats in the OBX? Not on the leather in the badlands? Many mainstream buyers at least glance at this when buying a new vehicle.

I know this is a minor situation, but if the door nets are the only beverage/cup holders in the rear seat, it's just an added wrinkle and pain point for anyone who has a kid or kids, or also plans on bringing more than two people on trips of a decent distance. I just made the mistake of assuming that the rear seats would all have an armrest with two cupholders since every vehicle i have been in has one in the back seat. Thanks!

The 4door outerbanks and FE have 8 drink holders, they are the only models with the arm rest in the back seat that has two drink holders in it.

Thank you very much for the clarity. Is it still leather only? Or does the cloth option also include the armrest with cupholders?

• The Leather Trimmed Navy Pier Interior has the additional cup holders in the arm rest that folds out of the back seat.
• This interior is available on Outer Banks and comes standard on the First Edition

• The Leather Trimmed option in the Badlands may have the additional cupholders in the rear arm rest.
• Build and Price doesn't list these additional cupholders in the description of the Badlands leather option but we have other sources that do list it does include them.

Here's what we know:

• The Leather Trimmed Navy Pier Interior has the additional cup holders in the arm rest that folds out of the back seat.
• This interior is available on Outer Banks and comes standard on the First Edition

Here's what we aren't sure of:

• The Leather Trimmed option in the Badlands may have the additional cupholders in the rear arm rest.
• Build and Price doesn't list these additional cupholders in the description of the Badlands leather option but we have other sources that do list it does include them.

Final clarification will need to come from Ford before this is settled. We are asking and will share here when we get an answer.

FYI - Not a stupid question. I'm super invested in this and it's partly why I went Outer Banks. Not kidding.

This exact topic is strangely important to my build. This will be replacing my GC Trailhawk, and cupholders in the back is a must have with a 10 year old kid. If I have to pay $2K for leather, just for rear cupholders, that will be a tough pill to swallow. That alone might not cause me to pass on filling my reservation, but the straws continue to build up on my camel's back with the dark interiors, MIC top, "late availability" items, no x plan, etc.....I'm trying to keep the faith, but it is being tested.

There’s beverages holders in the back, you just get 2 more with the leather package. You got from 6 total to 8

If they are counting the nets in the doors as cupholders, that's a no go for me. If there are 2 actual cupholders somewhere back there and the leather adds 2 more. Then I will be satisfied. For now, color me skeptical....

I mean “beverage holders” it’s going to fit a water bottle or closed container fine. I don’t know about you, but I put to much work in to detailing my vehicles to be letting kids have open container drinks in the back haha.

We got a great laugh out this no cup holders in the backseat of the four door. We actually asked the ford rep to show us wear the rear cup holders were in the 4 door overland concept at super celebration East. Well he look all over for them then reached for the center arm rest, and there was no cup holders. So I hope they fix this by the production version or the Mom crowd might not be to happy according to the wife.

My wife complained to the BMW dealer about the lack of and size of cupholders in our M-Car. The dealer laughed and told her that the Germans don't see why you need a cupholder in a M-car since it is about speed and diving into corners. Maybe Ford sees the same thing on the Bronco! How do you keep a drink in a cupholder off-road???

Sounds like the German's, their ideas are always the best at least according to them, but they also lost a few wars SO ;)


But off-road cup holder these work great. You can flop it on its side and never spill your drink.
