[Tractor Factor]

Let's talk about something important....
Has anybody loaded up their Frunk with beer and ice?
Is there a weight limit in the Frunk?
Any chance of melted water splashing onto important electrical components?
Cheers friends! 😁

More importantly, is there a portable fridge that fits well in that space?

I thought I read that it has a drain hole for water to drain out of as the ice melts. So I don't think this would be a problem unless you plugged it.

Great idea for an after market product

I can confirm: there is absolutely a drain hole in the frunk. There's also one in the spare tire well.

Someone has posted however that the frunk does not have a proper drain. The water runs out all over the underside of the truck. Not good. Look for a post; perhaps on Rivianforum.com for the answer.

Personally I won’t try it. Just my preference. I put a fridge up There instead. 😊

The frunk isn’t suited for holding ice - there are radiators in that area which generate a lot of heat. Better to use the spare tire area if you want to load ice in the vehicle.

Not necessarily Frunk specific, but what's the largest electric cooler anyone has found that can fit anywhere in the Frunk/Tunnel or the bed with the tonneau cover closed?

The bed is specc'ed to be 17" high with the tonneau cover closed. The best I've found is this one at 32qt, but I'm really hoping for something a bit larger:

LionCooler X30A Portable Solar Fridge Freezer, 32 Quarts (New Model)

2019 Summer New Arrival: LiONCooler. Capacity: 32 Quart, 30 Liter; Portable: easy to move anywhere with portable trolley & wheels; Green: solar powered, only 45w consumption of DC or AC power, fluoride-free Insulation.

The gear tunnel is taller, but oddly shaped, so i'm uncertain what may fit in there. (And an electric cooler probably wants to stay straight upgright).

ICECO Go20. Amazon. $449. Fits the frunk like a glove.

has two compartments, one can we freezer, or all of it can be. Pretty neat little fridge.

Someone else said it also fits inside the gear tunnel. But I haven’t verified.

Do these type of mini fridge/freezers need ventilation? I am wondering if this would cause them to fail early if running long periods in the frunk on a road trip

 

[MSoilRivian]

Not sure but it does run and have a fan making the heat go somewhere. Guess I’ll see over time.

I have it plugged in to the 12V all the time as a fridge for water. Takes a bit of driving to cool down. Bug it works pretty well. Freezer function is effective too. Will be great on longer road trips.

And driving in a rainstorm or through a river?

Unfortunately the frunk does not have any outlets. Such a bummer...

VINs less than about 12,000 do have a 12V outlet.
