I had upgraded my 19’ XLT Crewcab’s Headlights the other day. I had noticed this. See pic

My engine cover was gone. Is this a hot item? If so ,Why would some one do this?

Most Rangers don’t come w them anymore.

People since the 2000s: “I can’t see my engine w all this damn useless plastic hiding it!”

Ranger owners: “can you believe we don’t get an engine cover here!!”

It's just one more place for a mouse or chipmunk to set up a nest...then start chewing wires.

Lariat is the only Ranger that had them until the end of 2020. None of them do now. Aside from engine and HPFP noise it helps to keep water off the tops of the spark plug stems. This has been an issue for a few on here. Fords remediation is to replace suspect plugs, coil packs and add an engine cover! Who would have guessed! ?

did they take it while you had the hood open to change the lights or did they somehow open the hood on their own?
