UPDATE. Received the powered cooler and it fits perfectly. It runs fine with frunk closed and doesn’t message that it exceeds wattage when frunk is closed.

im very happy with purchase. Cost $189 plus tax from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08N63CSH5/

This new one is 35 Liter (38 qt). I still have our original version with 55 Liter (59 qt) in truck bed under soft tonneau cover. When we are traveling the 2-1/2 hours between house and cabin I’ll use the big one as a refrigerator and the smaller one as a freezer.

When returning from supermarket I’ll probobly only use one set at 0 deg to keep food frozen and cool on the short trip home.

Another really nice feature is the Bluetooth app where we can monitor the temps and even change temp setting while driving

Now you just need to test the 47 to round out the comparison.

Nah :) The 47 is 3.5" taller that the 35 so I doubt it would fit the FRonk.

Traveling yesterday for a 3 hour trip and I used the 35 in the FRonk as a Freezer and the 55 in the bed as a Refrigerator. It worked perfectly.

About 30 minutes before leaving I plugged in the coolers with an extension cord to the house outlets so everything was pre cooled. On the road it was nice to be able to monitor temps in each separately using the iPhone app to verify all was well.

These coolers were great for us as we routinely travel 3 hours between houses. Before we couldn't bring Ice Cream now not a problem keeping things frozen.

Highly unlikely, it looks like you only have another 1.5-2” max left.

How’s the sizing compared to the big one? It looks tiny in the frunk there, is the interior the same layout with the mini shelf?

I took the plunge and bought a portable firdge for road trips and camping.
To add it to the list of fridges people have tried before with the lighting:

Iceco APL55 dual zone fridge/freezer.
Its unfortunately too tall to fit in the frunk. But it does fit in the truck bed underneath a flush mounted tri-fold tonneau cover with about an inch to spare.
