Since electric pickup trucks don’t need to house engines under the hoods, most electric trucks will feature frunk space that can be used for storage capacity. Many automakers will copy Ford’s formula and include outlets in frunks to add more utility to electric trucks.
Ford’s strategic marketing of its frunk and its patent make it leaps and bounds ahead of other automakers. The Blue Oval took an unoccupied space and gave it incredible payload capacity and functionality. The American automaker may have already won the frunk wars before they even really started.
