First reported by Ford Authority and confirmed by MotorTrend, 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.
With the loss of the front trunk, the starting MSRP of the Mach-E has decreased, albeit not by the same $495. The RWD Select Base now costs $39,850, down from $39,990 in 2025. Of course, that means if you spec the 2026 RWD Select with a frunk, the cost is now $40,335, $345 more than the otherwise identical 2025 model.
Key features and operation details include:
Usage: The frunk is watertight with a drainage hole, allowing it to function as a cooler for drinks or storage for wet/muddy gear.
Opening Methods: It can be opened by double-pulling the release lever in the footwell, using the SYNC® touchscreen, entering the SecuriCode on the exterior keypad, or via the FordPass app.
2025 Changes: The 2025 model year saw the frunk size shrink by roughly 40% after Ford added a heat pump, though it remains standard equipment.
The 2026 Mach-E Rally also loses its once standard rear wing and decal package. The “raised real spoiler” is now a $995 option, and its starting price is now $59,735, down from $60,485. But once you add the spoiler and frunk, the price is up by $1,490 and there is no option to add the Rally decals.
