Again, excuse me, but without storage you don't have a "frunk", you simply have the hood open.
The lighting really changed the narrative on the frunk. It used to be cute little cubby.

The frunk will have storage.
That would be expected although it's not there in this photo - I certainly hope so; I made my reservation the Monday after the reveal.

Can anyone understand these brakes? This looks like no master cylinder I’ve seen. No hydraulic lines visible. I don’t know what else you would need a fluid reservoir for in an EV.

Electric brakes, no hydraulics

So Ford keeps the same design, removes the engine, and makes it a huge frunk and now people want to judge by frunk size? I don't get it. Ford took the path of least resistance to get an EV truck out before Tesla by not really designing anything new and people now set that as the standard by which all frunks should be measured. Ford's design is now function follows form whereas Tesla's is form follows function. They built and designed an EV truck from the ground up. They didn't just rip out an engine, transmission, and gas tank from an ICE truck and replace it with batteries and a couple motors. What else was Ford gonna do with an empty engine bay? They didn't have time to design it out and they wanted to keep their loyalists happy.
