Cup Holder & Drink Holder Upgrades for the 70 Series
The factory cup holder situation in the 70 Series is one of the most-complained-about cabin shortcomings. Toyota fits no integrated armrest on the door cards and a basic recessed cup holder that does not retain bottles at speed. The aftermarket fixes this for under $250 and the fix earns its keep on every drive.
1. Cup Holder Armrests Pro
The 70 Series Store best-seller. Mounts to the door card at the correct height for highway driving, adds a padded armrest plus integrated cup holder sized for actual drink bottles. $197 fitted, no permanent modification, no drilling. Fits 75, 76, 78 and 79 Series across the entire production run from 1985 to current.
2. Centre Console Armrest Lite
Fills the factory empty centre tunnel between the front seats with a padded armrest, lockable storage compartment, integrated cup holders and a flat working surface. $247 from 70 Series Store. Mounts to the factory floor tunnel without modification. Fits across all current 70 Series variants and back to the V8 era.
3. Centre Console Armrest Pro
Premium version with deeper storage, additional cup holder positions and higher-quality finish. $307 from 70 Series Store. Same fitment as the Lite but with more storage volume and a stronger armrest pad. Best for owners who want the most cabin upgrade in one purchase.
4. Year and Variant Fitment
All three products fit the 70 Series cabin from the early production years through to the 2024 facelift. The factory cabin layout has not materially changed across the platform's life - the empty centre tunnel and missing door armrests are constants. Confirm fitment by series/variant on the product page if ordering for a 75 or pre-2007 vehicle.
5. Combined Setup
The full setup combines Cup Holder Armrests Pro (one pair on the door cards) with the Centre Console Armrest Lite. Total cost $444. Transforms the 70 Series cabin from working-vehicle basic to a usable touring setup. This combination is the highest-selling cabin upgrade on 70 Series Store for a reason.
