I noticed it gets hot in there as well. We go out on day trips with our little ones frequently and we pack lunches, drinks and juice boxes in a Yeti backpack and I put it in the frunk sitting on top of extra insulation to reduce the thermal transfer. It works. Also do the same when we drive 2.5 hours to the beach for the weekend. But yeah, wouldn’t put anything that would be at risk of melting. Without being in a cooler.

I have noticed as well it is hotter. I have 12v cooler I put in for three day trip and noticed when opening the surface temp was hot on the cooler. I assume the frunk is sealed and as others say it's close to equipment that increases temperature. Has anyone else had same issue with putting 12v cooler in frunk? Solutions or ideas welcome.
