I popped the frunk at Lowe’s pickup. Had two nice little old ladies ask me if I needed a Jump! I’m in Texas where people are usually polite. I told them if I need a jump you can’t help me?. They didn’t understand.

I've posted this before, but limit your frunk pizza to one or two... 10 tends to steam up the frunk. I had to wipe it down after.

I love Costco ... but I wouldn't risk damage from parked cars and carts to save a few bucks on pizza, not to mention the time to get in and out of the lot. YMMV.

I dunno about the Frunk for Pizza.

I'm going to have to test it to see if its superior to my method of putting the pizza on the passenger seat and then turning the heat seater on all the way.

I picked up pizza last night, and I always put it in the frunk because it’s a perfect fit. As I’m getting back into the truck, I hear someone in the outdoor bar area say to his friends “Hey, that guy’s f—ing crazy, he just put his pizza on the engine!”. I was smiling the whole way home.

If you're getting takeout that you don't want to smell in the cabin - you're getting the wrong takeout. :-D
It's smelling it the next day that is the problem.

The frunk helps keep things hot in the summer for sure. The gear tunnel gets some conditioned air from the cabin so it will stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Have never tried your method though (and given the above messages about keeping the smell out of the cabin, I don't foresee myself trying).

I love loading / unloading groceries from the frunk and getting looks. Even had one lady drive in circles around the parking lot to get a better look. I eventually waved politely, but she just stared as if her brain couldn't process what she was seeing. Never asked any questions, never acknowledged the human with the truck, just drove around a small circle completely slack-jawed.

I filled the frunk with ice, adult beverages, and taco fixins' for tailgate, frunkgate?, at a Bills game last fall and it was a big hit. Pro tip: use double the ice as it melts fast.
I was expecting to have to wipe out a bit of water the next day but it was bone dry. The combo of the drain and the surface being warmer than ambient dried it right out so that was a bonus.
