The frunk used to be standard, but now it costs hundreds of dollars to add to Ford’s electric SUV.
In both cases, reducing the standard features isn’t yielding savings and there’s no value gained. Bummer.
Shocked, i tell you.
it now costs $495 to have a frunk insert installed on the 2026 Mustang Mach-E across its four trims. According to FA, the change was made because Ford’s designers learned owners weren’t taking advantage of the frunk space.
I bet it’ll be a dealer freebie.
You probably won’t be able to find one to buy that doesn’t have it.
Anytime there are dealer add-ons the first thing I tell them is to take them off or of the er me a car without them. They can’t, and they won’t. Most times I’ve gotten them for free (or at least started the negotiation with having that amount knocked off the price). Only time that didn’t work was right after COVID and cars were scarce. It was a very, “You’ll pay what we tell you or you can get fucked” time.
How did they know the frunk wasn’t being used, exactly?
Because your car is spying on everything you do and reporting back to corporate headquarters.
This is silly because I have a car with a frunk. It is rarely opened but I keep emergency supplies in there, leaving my trunk free. So anyone monitoring my usage would say I’m not using it very much.
I believe it’s like the lumbar support in Teslas, which were removed because apparently “nobody used it”. It’s not like your lower back moves every day so you have to tweak your seat settings every time you get in your car.
