Bigger frunk

[ejwl]

From the videos I've seen online. The frunk looks a bit small. It doesn't look big enough to fit luggage. I thought the purpose of a frunk was to give extra storage. Having the frunk as a seating area is fine but more front storage space would be optimal.

Rivian Frunk easily holds 12 XL pizzas (and keeps them warm) above the false floor (there's more storage underneath the pizza deck)

Pretty sure the Scout frunk will have more cubic space available:

Definitely room in the Scout for some additional 2-litres, and garlic bread sticks

There are size comparison graphics around this site. The size of the front bumper-to-door of the Scout Terra looks to be nearly the same as that dimension of the Lightning. Assuming that, the dimensions of the frunk are likely to be very similar. Some photos make it look like the Scout frunk might actually be deeper.

Here are some photos I stole from various places online:

These are both super helpful, thank you.

Fun fact (that I just looked up).

The F150 Lightning has more storage space in the frunk, than a Honda Civic Sedan has in the trunk (by 0.7 cu ft).

That’s crazy!

A fully-grown adult (me) climbing into the Lightning’s frunk. I realized after the latch closed that I usually have my phone with me so I can open the frunk with it if I can’t find the emergency release button. It all worked out okay this time. Please forgive the several seconds it took for me to find the frunk button.

Did you do this just now for us? Awh that was so nice of you!

I’m confident the Scout frunk will be plenty big for my needs.

I did. I had a job running, so could step away from the computer for a few minutes.

The production version will be different in a number of ways but similar in size/capacity. The front lip will be higher to accommodate the front radar sensors. That most likely means the pull-out seat tray may not make production. Finding places for everything becomes really difficult when we need removable bumpers that can withstand impacts offroad and meet crash standards.

I’m gonna need to see a rendering of this, this can throw off the entire look.

Well, this is hilarious, and excellent. I approve of this. Glad to share a community with people that think like this (and I mean this in the best way possible).

There is one potential downside for you though.

You may have to become the official measuring stick of frunk space. And... you might have to do the same thing with a Scout in the future, and uh, compare the experience .

You mentioned a downside?

 

[SpaceEVDriver]

I also know, for certain, that the Mustang Mach-E frunk is smaller than one Standard SpaceEVDriver.

I haven’t measured any other frunks.

You mentioned a downside?

Maybe I should have said "downside"? I agree, I'd bet for a good chunk of forum members, that would be considered a high priviledge.

You can be the Pre-Production human measurement unit, and SM can fly you out to all of the events, and you can do important work like:

• Lay down in the back of the Traveler with the seats down like you're camping on purpose.
• Lay sideways on the seats in the back seat, like you're camping on accident.
• Check to see exactly where a tow hitch would leave a bruise on your shin/knee/leg with the offroad package if you forgot it was still there and walked around the vehicle confidently at night
• Time yourself to see how long it takes to retrieve the key, or your phone when you drop it between the seat and the console because you're horribly unlucky that day, and (probably) have hands larger than a toddler.
• Reach from the drivers seat, to the passenger side rear seat floor area, to get something that flew off of a seat/console in a goofy turn, and see what sort of gymnastics you have to do/what sort of chiropractor you need to visit afterwards.

For my part, I volunteer to sit in the seats while covered in mud and sweat, and see how well the frunk handles keeping sweaty mountain bike gear in it for a while. Its a thankless job, but I'd do it if needed. Because I'm dedicated.

That is impressive that someone actually thought to make such a list.

Okay and for the lady Scouters I will:

Test the front and back seats with various hair styles. For example, if I have a pony tail in do I get a neck ache because I can’t put my head all the way back on the head rest.

I will test the pedals with all my different shoes. Driving shoes, tennis shoes, kitten heels, flat boots, heeled boots, stilettos, ballet flats, flip flops.

Next I would be happy to take it on an off road course with my purse and other items in the vehicle to verify they stay put over bumps and around corners.

And lastly, and I know it’s a big sacrifice but I’m willing to do it, I will attempt to get in with a fresh mani/pedi to verify I can successfully unlock the door, buckle my seatbelt, start the vehicle and drive to a designated location without ruining my polish.

So now the saying is no longer bigger that a bread box. It will become bigger than a SpaceEVDriver.

Sounds like a pitch for a new game show. I love it.

What size cup will the frunk's cupholders accommodate?

Here’s a picture of the frunk cupholder my husband took at Nats. I would think it would hold at least a large size soft drink or venti from Starbucks.

The F150 Lightning has more storage space in the frunk, than a Honda Civic Sedan has in the trunk (by 0.7 cu ft).

Quite the interesting tidbit
