Chevrolet Silverado EV eTrunk front storage compartment

Removing the bulky gasoline engine from beneath the hood of a full-size pickup creates an incredible amount of untapped space. Rather than leaving this area empty, Chevrolet engineers converted the front cavity of the Chevrolet Silverado EV into the eTrunk™. This secure, enclosed cargo area redefines pickup utility by providing a weather-proof storage solution that doesn't require an aftermarket cover or sacrifice interior legroom.


10.7 Cubic Feet of Versatile Storage

The eTrunk provides a cavernous 10.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity, fully sealed under a locking hood to protect your gear from the elements. This space is large enough to "swallow" items that would typically clutter the back seat during a Jacksonville commute.

Item Type Estimated Capacity
Travel Gear One large hard-sided suitcase and two duffel bags.
Grocery Run Approximately 6-8 full reusable grocery bags.
Professional Tools Two full-size toolboxes or multiple power tool cases.
Outdoor Recreation A standard-sized cooler or a week's worth of camping gear.

Inside, you will find four grocery bag hooks and four cargo tie-down rings. These allow you to secure heavy items like toolboxes or sports equipment, ensuring they stay in place while navigating the busy roads of Northeast Florida.

Chevrolet Silverado EV eTrunk power outlet and utility storage

Power and Utility Hub for the Coast

The Chevrolet Silverado EV essentially functions as a rolling generator, and the eTrunk ensures that power is accessible at the front of the vehicle. Every 2026 eTrunk is equipped with a 120V AC power outlet, providing professional-grade utility for work or recreation near the St. Johns River.

  • On the Jobsite: You can securely lock and charge expensive power tool batteries or laptops inside the weatherproof compartment while you work.
  • At the Beach: Power a high-end speaker system or run small appliances for a tailgate without needing to run extension cords from the rear bed.
  • Integrated Lighting: LED lights automatically illuminate the compartment when opened, making it easy to organize gear during early morning starts or late-night arrivals in Jacksonville.

The Ultimate Jacksonville Tailgating Solution

Because it is designed for a pickup truck, the eTrunk is built to handle much more than just clean luggage. The interior is constructed from highly durable, water-resistant composite materials and features a built-in drainage system.

If you finish a day at a muddy job site or a hike through a local park, you can throw your dirty gear directly into the front trunk. When you return home, simply hose out the compartment and let the water drain out of the floor plugs. This design also allows you to fill the bin with ice and beverages for a beach day; as the ice melts, the water seamlessly drains through the bottom.
