Ford Makes Mach-E Frunk a $495 Option for 2026

Ford says low frunk use led to the change to trim EV costs.

Overview

  • Ford’s 2026 Mustang Mach-E configurator lists the front trunk as a $495 add-on under Exterior Options across all trims.
  • The company cites data showing many owners rarely used the space and frames the move as a way to cut content and reduce upfront pricing.
  • The Mach-E GT drops about $1,000 for 2026 to $53,395, while the base Select RWD holds at $37,795 before a $2,045 destination fee.
  • Other tweaks include deleted front-seat map pockets, Rally trim spoilers and graphics moved to options, added rear door grab handles, and a new GT California Edition.
  • Owners and commentators criticize the change as nickel-and-diming after years of the frunk being standard, noting the compartment measures roughly 4.7–4.8 cubic feet.
