    Football fans can elevate their tailgates for next season with the all-electric Mustang Mach-E’s front trunk, or frunk, a 4.8-cubic-foot plastic space – equal to a 36-gallon cooler – that sits underneath the hood.

    DETROIT — Not even Forrest Gump's Army pal Bubba could have come up with "frunk" shrimp. But Ford Motor Co. insists that chilled seafood is a perfect snack for tailgaters to enjoy from the front trunk of a Mustang Mach-E.

    The electric crossover includes a 4.8-cubic-foot underhood storage compartment that Ford said can function as a 36-gallon cooler. So, in a recent news release, the auto maker offered four suggestions for using it at your next tailgate or barbecue:

    1. "Just fill the front trunk with ice and beverages and cruise right up to your tailgate. When you're done, open the drain cap at the bottom of the front trunk and let gravity do the rest."

    2. "Sign up to bring a game-day spread best served chilled? Top off the frunk with some shaved ice to keep veggies, dips and even shrimp."

    3. "Feed an entire team by loading the front trunk with hot wings: You can hold more than 1,000 regular-sized wings with the extra storage space. And don't worry about the sauce—you can open the drain cap and hose down the front trunk when you get home."

    4. "Play a game of long-distance cornhole or show off your passing skills by challenging friends to a 'closest to the front trunk' contest."
