What is Frank? Confirmed with Ford Mustang Mach-E

Frank is the trunk on the front side of the car

When you think of a "car" in general, most cars have a trunk behind the car (rear side).

However, due to the structure of the car, some models have the trunk in front of the car (front side), and my favorite Porsche 911 also has a trunk in the front.

The rear is loaded with an engine, so there is no trunk at the rear of the Porsche 911.

Such a "trunk on the front side of the car" is called "Frunk" in English, but even though I have lived abroad for many years, this is I didn't know the word Frunk until a few years before I started riding Porsche.

You can see how the word "Frank" was a word that was not needed in my life so far ^ ^

Of course, the trunk at the front is also commonly used as a "trunk" (Front Trunk ... or rather, it's normal for this to be a more general conversation), so it's necessary to dare to call it Frank. I don't have any.

However, when I first learned about it, I remember being impressed with "Ah, front + trunk, is it Frank?" ^^

Ford Mustang Mach-E's Frunk

Now, I would like to take a look at the usage scenery of "Frank".

This car is the Ford Mustang electric vehicle SUV Mach-E.

Haha, this, the other dayI was tweeting on TwitterHowever, these are Mach-E's "Frank Utilization Photos" officially released by Ford as a marketing media.

The trunk has a drainage function

The front trunk is filled with plenty of ice and drinks are put there. "Even if you don't bother to carry a heavy cooler box, Frank will become a cooler."

Yes, it seems that the front trunk of this Mach-E has a place to drain water, so even after putting water or ice in this way, it is possible to drain the water or wash it while draining it cleanly. Or something like that.

That said, even if you don't dare to do this in the trunk ... (laughs).

Is this also a shrimp cocktail on the spread of ice? We are having fun with everyone in the raw bar (where we mainly eat oysters and raw seafood).

Furthermore, is it an appeal that "you can wash it cleanly at the end"? What do you want to convey? I don't know at all, but warm ones are OK! And there is also a picture of eating a buffalo wing (chicken wing).

By the way, if it is a regular size wing, it seems that about 1,000 pieces will fit. No, I don't need that information (laughs).

Is it an official photo? ?? this. Funny, Ford ^^

The front trunk capacity here is about 136 liters.

Ford himself has put up such an incomprehensible ad, so it's not uncommon for the (?) American media to mess with it.

"We also thought about how to use the 136L Frank!", Some photos were made at once ^ ^

I would like to see it.

This is "I tried putting stew (chowder)". Ew ~, it's impossible! It's hard just to imagine ...

"Why don't you make a portable ball pool, even if it's not food?"

"Even if a small child pees inside, you can wash it using the drainage function." There are quite a lot of big children in the picture (laughs).

Next,

"It's okay if it gets dirty, so it's okay to turn it into a cockfighting ground! If the police find you and you're about to get angry, occupy the hood of the trunk and accelerate Mach-e's super fast 0-100 km in about 3 seconds. If you run away, it's OK! "

… Ah, Mach-e is completely played.

However, I like the detailed attention that the man's plate on the right side has changed to a latch ^ ^

"Why don't you make it a carp pond? If you park it in a supermarket parking lot, you can open the trunk and a nice little sanctuary will appear there."

Ah, it might be a little refreshing sight ... For a while (no, I don't think), while saying such a "sanctuary", the carp is not on the plate of the man on the right side. Yeah? Do you eat (laughs)?

At the end

"None of these uses sounded? Then why not make this Frank a portal to hell? So that you can go anytime, anywhere, when you need it, rather than in a fixed house. Dark Sacrifice・ It's easy to clean even if you dedicate it to the road! "

I think Ford knew that he was going to do it this way, and I think he put it out (I want to believe that ...), but well, there are various ways to write it depending on the media for the photos that Ford put out. and:

• Ford knows exactly what people are looking for in a modern electric car.
• It is clear that the EV market is new and other manufacturers are also attracting attention due to various eccentricities. But isn't it good to leave the buffalo wing to Coleman and focus on the cruising range and charging time for the time being?

etc.

Well, after all, everyone is enjoying it ^^

Here is the video ↓

The trunk in front of the car is called "Frank" in English, which is a bit off the beaten track, but it was about how to use the Ford Mustang Mach-E.

Anyway, even if I know it's a joke, I can't do it ... ^^
