I have to find some way to keep my mind occupied while waiting for Ford to release something, ANYTHING new about the Lightning. An order date would be nice, but in the mean time, help me put this debate to bed.

I'm calling it "the frunk" under most circumstances. Maybe "Mega Power Frunk" occasionally as a joke.

That last part is my point exactly. "Mega power frunk" sounds like a punchline, lol.

Model S, Ridgeline, Miata, motorcycle(s)
The Ridgeline has an actual "trunk" in the conventional sense that it is at the rear of the vehicle.

Ford is using silly branding on common things that already have an established name. It makes it seem like they are irrationally proud of a feature that really is no different from the others. "Mega Power Frunk" is silly. Sure, it has powered actuators and AC receptacles inside which are nice features that not everyone has, but why not focus on those features alone instead of pretending like the idea of front storage on an EV is anything to write home about? The fact that the opening includes the front grill area is very useful, especially on a truck. The Rivian's frunk requires you to lift items up and over the entire front end. This is annoying enough on my Model S; on a truck it would be a real chore if things are heavy.

And don't get me started on the Ford Power-Up software updates... that's another thread.

Mega = Because its the largest frunk in the industry
Power = No other frunk has usable electricity outlets like this one does.
Frunk = Front trunk

Case closed. Admins you may now close this thread haha

You have a dark green truck, but your Bullitt is blue!?

Just joking... I love the '01 Bullitt in True Blue. My dad owned #389 (Green) for a while.

I know the irony haha! The 01" Bullitt I bought used with my Dad as my first car (lucky for me). I won't sell it because its a fun car and great memories . I guess I like rare colors as the Guard Green got discontinued for 2022

Yeah, those are both uncommon colors for sure! Glad you're hanging onto the Bullitt. Hopefully other people are keeping them in good condition, as well. Been a long time since I've seen one driving around.

Mega Power Frunk sounds like exactly what it is: A marketing bullet point. Too sales-y to actually use.

In every day usage I'd call it a frunk.

I thought it was power because it has powered opening?
