Cooking in my flash while hiking!

Electrical outlets in the frunk are limited to 400 watts when the hood is closed. If you try and draw more power, the outlets shut down and you get an error message.

That limit was downgraded to 175W during an update this summer

So newbie here, and we are going to Winter Lights on Monday and it will be cold and snowy. How nice it would be to have some hot chocolate in the frunk when we get back to our cars. Soooo, newbie here, do I just plug in the crock pot while she's sitting in the parking lot?? Is there some kind of switch?

Would be easier to heat it up at home & keep in a thermos. If you are going to rely on the power outlets to keep it warm, use the bed, not the frunk, which has a 175W limit (pretty low)

Yes. I used my air fryer in the rear outlets while charging at 140kwh at a fast charger. It gives a pop up warning saying you’ll be charging slower while using propower. But no issues at all.

This is a great life hack - thanks!

Haha, yes that would be easier.

...or an outlet in the cab.

Last night we went on a hike on a local trail called the top of the world. There was about 3 inches of snow and it was about 12 degrees f. Glorious night. The best part though was when we were done we had piping hot wild rice soup that was staying warm in the frunk in a crock pot. I love this truck.

So happy to hear you love your truck Pete! Happy Holidays
