Category: Comparisons
Compare the RAM Level Cup XL 32oz drink holder with Torque Medium Rail Base and Tough-Claw versions. Find which mounting system fits your truck or rail setup.
Quick answer
Choose the RAM Level Cup XL with Torque Medium Rail Base for a permanent, secure grip on round rails from .5" to 1". Pick the Tough-Claw version for toolless, quick-release mounting on rails or flat bars.
Mounting system differences
The RAM Level Cup XL 32oz drink holder uses a gyroscopic self-leveling system to keep your drink upright, but the mounting base changes how and where you install it. The Torque Medium Rail Base requires a wrench for installation and stays put until you remove it. The Tough-Claw uses a clamp that opens and closes by hand, so you can move the holder between vehicles or positions without tools.
Both versions hold the same oversized cup opening and adjustable bottom piece for tall containers. Your choice comes down to how often you need to remove the mount and what surface you are attaching to.
