Funny. I was thinking how cool it would be if an EV truck with a frunk had a midgate, fold down front passenger seat, and ability to open the dash somehow to pass though very long things into trunk area.
Lawyer here: I concur!

The Bollinger B1 and B2 were supposed to have exactly that. A central passthrough all the way from the back of the bed to the front bumper. You would have been able to haul 20’ lumber entirely within the vehicle.
Of course, their $125k price point for a no-frills electric work truck was twice as much as three-row luxury SUV pretty much doomed them from the start. If they had targeted a price point suitable for fleet operations, we’d all be driving them.

I did recall vaguely something like that, but couldn’t remember what it was, thanks for that.
But absolutely, especially if you had something like a 4.5 foot bed normally, but between frunk pass through and tailgate with load stop you could carry some 16 foot long planks… Something you might rarely need to do and not with a lot of planks, so a huge bed is pointless most of the time.

Silverado EV has a midgate passthrough, but no folding front seat or dash.

Similar to a Long Tom/Island Cab truck.

I also had this truck idea. I’ve seen at least one real version of such a thing.

Welvin Da Great called and is asking whether his friends Candice and Dick can fit in the truck.
