Time to give up the frunk (if you want the Harvester engine)...

[Pogeegitz]

Seriously... The frunk is insanely valuable and utilitarian at it's finest.

Again... I have a pickup truck that's undersized (²R1T³) and yet between the hardcover retractable bed and my front trunk and gear tunnel I have more total cargo capacity while having my two kids in car seats and my wife in my vehicle then somebody driving a gas guzzling behemoth of a Chevy Tahoe.

Seriously the frunk is why oversized vehicles exist and if all vehicles had reasonable sized frunks, we'd be seeing cars 20% smaller then what is commonplace today.

We literally pile more stuff into our car on our Costco and Sam's club's runs than other people who drive those ridiculously sized suvs. My wife has one of those sized SUVs and even she is like I can't believe how great your truck is it's better than my Sequoia.

How people can’t see the value of a secured frunk in a truck/SUV is beyond me. To secure anything of value in my Bronco I had to install a vault and even that has its space limitations. To secure a laptop, camera, firearm, other valuables in a truck and away from prying eyes is heaven sent. And have you ever tried putting anything that smells (like food) inside the cabin - yeah, a frunk solves that too. In my Mach-E, the frunk has a drain hole and can turn into a cooler to hold ice and has two cup holders molded into the plastic. Need to throw your wetsuit into the car after surfing or your muddy hiking boots after a long trek? You guessed it. And then easily hose it down.

If I haven’t convinced you of the value of a frunk, then it’s clearly hopeless.

With all that, Scout understands how important a frunk has become to most consumers today (every Rivian has one) and I can comfortably say I have faith there will a frunk in every model, including the Harvester.

Call me hopeless then....

Everything you tout as an advantage of a frunk already exists in an even better form - it's called a "bed."

The ergonomics are way different, I simply can hit a button and my frunk opens automatically and I'm able to easily grab everything and have it in a more organized storage area that's cleaner. Same thing with the gear tunnel, you can put select items that you still want to be heated and cooled by your cab within the gear tunnel. A bed offers no ability to either heat or cool the items you store.

I've had both an F-150 platinum, and a R1T, not to mention a Model S, and other full size suvs. The ergonomics and function of a frunk are wonderful.

Which is why I put more stuff in my frunk than I do my bed. And also an order of cleanliness too, groceries and children's items easily go in the frunk and gear tunn, versus throwing them in a dirty pickup truck bed.

a big “yes” to all those. The frunk on a day to day basis would be used routinely. The bed u use occasionaly.
