Ford’s Latest F-150 Lightning Frunk Idea Would Make it the Ultimate Work Truck

Ford calls the F-150 Lightning its “smartest, most innovative” truck yet for a reason. The electric truck can do things the gas-powered version could only dream of.

According to the automaker’s recent patent, the Lightning’s frunk could gain an additional work surface. Ford’s patent, published on December 7, details a “front trunk including moveable platform.”

The patent describes a moveable platform that can be used as a work surface. In some cases, a removable platform replaces a portion of the Lightning’s front bumper. The platform can include a drawer and several storage compartments for various items. Although many would use Ford’s new Lightning frunk platform for work, it could also be used to upgrade your future tailgate parties or other events.
