I voted once a week. Mainly for groceries. My shopping bags, windshield washing fluid, paper towels, squeegee, picnic utensils, and adapters live there.

The lower part of the front trunk holds ratchet straps, ponchos, tire repair stuff etc. It's rarely used stuff, but its always good to have.

This season, the rest of the front trunk carries folding chairs for my kids sports games.

It's also my first choice for groceries when the gear tunnel is full.

Use the trunk on my R1S for:
- grocery bags 3-4 times/week
- beach towels 2 times/week
- secure laptop/shopping bag etc storage on occasion
- charging adapters on occasion

there are days I am in and out of there multiple times. I’d say easily 1/day on average. Love the frunk! Also, love being able to stash stuff after a day at the beach/gym/whatever in there - keep the funk in the frunk!

I'm coming up on 2months' ownership, and I forget it has a frunk.

I have my tools and my 2 charging adapters in there, but haven't had occasion to use any of them.

My golf bag lives in the frunk 99% of the time. I also have my charger and adapters, some ratchet straps, a rain jacket and a bin with spray bottles and towels (many chargers don't have squeegees, so that gets used every trip)

Makes zero sense to leave golf clubs in there for 99% of the time, I don’t play golf that often, maybe 4-5 time a year for charity events ( most boring game ever if you ask me) but sounds like I play it a lot more than you, and would never leave clubs in the frunk! 😂.

The frunk is great for transferring groceries from the car into the house. It holds sixteen 12-packs of soda!

It's also great for things I don't want to smell while driving, whether that's a hot pizza or a bag of fertilizer.

The lower storage space is perfect for emergency tools, and the net pockets hold my charging adapter and a few other small items.

I love the frunk. That said, I do wish the opening was a bit lower for easier loading and unloading.

The problem I have is that the length of the R1T does not leave much room to navigate around the exterior once it's parked in our garage, and frunk access is cumbersome to get to if I pull in too far. I do like to put the grocery bags in it, and have two Dollar Tree laundry baskets (cut down an inch) that I use to keep the bags from rolling around when loaded. It comes down to charging. My charging cable is currently configure to be close to the front left quarter panel of the vehicle, and once plugged in, kind of hard to step over the cable to get to the frunk.

One solution would be to back the R1T in and get to the frunk while the garage door is open. I am more apt to use the frunk over the tonneau cover / tailgate when it's in the garage.

I honestly use it for all the family sports gear, especially anything muddy or dirty, keeps the trunk clean on my R1S. BUT - the BEST use we've found is for takeout pizza! Stops the car smelling or getting grease on the seats!

Since I camp almost every weekend in the summer (hiking high peaks in Colorado requires an early start), I've placed all my car camping gear in a wheeled trunk that fits almost perfectly in the frunk. It stays there full time during the summer months, and makes it sooo easy to just leave home after work Friday. I love the big frunk.

I use the lower part of the frunk for most of my off-road recovery gear.

Perfect size for a mini-keg and small children. I have neither so I don't really use it. :surprised:

I don't use it daily but when traveling even with the back not being full I put items in the frunk. When we go on major family trips I don't need a roof top carrier anymore as the frunk holds the stuff that would go up top.

When I go camping with the scouts I put items I would rather not have easy access too such as axe, hatchets, or firewood and my equipment to make charcoal. It also prevents those items from adding any odor to the cabin.
