2022 Explorer ST 2nd Row Cup Holder Console Between Captain Chairs

ConleysGreatest · Apr 11, 2022

First post, hope it's in the correct location! Took delivery of my ST on 4/1 and noticed for some reason, Ford decided to remove the 2nd row cup holder console. I know there's cup holders in the doors and the pull down panel behind the center console but I would really like to have the console between the captain chairs! Has anyone with a 22 purchased the bracket, hardware, console and installed it? Wondering if the mounting holes are still in the floor pan and just covered by the carpet or did Ford remove them? Would imagine and hoping they kept the holes and just removed the bracket/console?

Once the rest of the parts for my Aviator rear console come off backorder I’ll be selling mine. At first I figured I’d just throw it away but now that they deleted them I figure I can get a few bucks back.

I was thinking of making something for that. maybe even building a sub box console combo. but Im not sure how the sub would sound from the middle of the car...

What is the difference between the second row consoles?

It'd sound fine from the drivers seat. Maybe a little wonky in the back.

Do you have a part #? I hate this floor cup holder / cubby. I would have preferred it as a clean & flat step.

Hi, did you ever find out if the holes are still in the floor pan? I would also like to add the second row console to my “22
Thanks

Hello new to the forum, Just received my 2022 explorer ST last night after ordering Septmeber 21, 2021. Very happy with it just disappointed about the second row cupholders, I am a ford technician at Lithia Ford in Boise. I ordered the floor console cupholder and bracket assembly will be trying to install later next week when the parts come in. Will keep you guys updated

Why do you guys want it? There’s plenty of cupholders elsewhere. The small storage there can’t be that useful.

I am able to reach back and put water bottles back there. Helpful when someone brings a beverage and wants to use one of the front. I just move my water bottle and have it sit in that. Works awesome!

But they put the cupholders back behind the center console. It pulls out when you need it and when you don’t, it stows away.

following up with my previous post I installed the cupholder console on my 2022 explorer st, I just ordered the bracket and cupholder from ford off of a 2020 explorer st. there are holes still under the carpet they just have tape over them, Just remove the two back seats and make sure to cut the carpet correctly for the bracket.

I just did it over the weekend and there are holes there, just purchase the bracket and console from a 2020 explorer st, I believe with the bracket, console and hardware was around 150 bucks, I just used my ford pass points.

st8 · Jun 27, 2022

Pretty cool! While that seems like an awful amount of work for some extra plastic cupholders but love to see people go the extra level and make it there own. Good work.

Is removal of the rear seats necessary for removal of the console? I would like to remove mine so our dog can lay there and put down some all season mats over the carpet. Would the rear seats need to come out to remove the brackets?

chase.burton · Jul 18, 2022

Mbarsuch said:

YES, and if you do there will hardly be any carpet underneath and the flooring will be exposed

bigdogowner · Aug 30, 2022

Any idea as to how long it would take to do this job? Did you happen to get a quote from Ford on what the cost would be? My wife has the 21 Rapid Red and I just purchased the 22 Stone Blue and want to add this center console.

Redline8k · Aug 30, 2022

keep in mind that if you add the center console that you will lose access to the back seats. the middle captains chairs only move so far forward. they do not fold up for access. I guess you could step over it but that could be a PITA...LOL
