Engine cover

[Dinglehead]

So I have a 2021 Lariat.... thats doesnt have the engine cover. Guess thats something they eliminated?

Seems like a cheap add-on. Ive seen mention of additional hardware in addition to the cover that needs to be purchased? On the Levittown website it says the studs are included.

Interesting. I had to purchase studs and nuts separately...

Levittown sells it as a kit with everything you need.

Ford did eliminate the cover from the 2021 Lariat.

I'm surprised that they eliminated it from the 2021 Lariat.

I added one to my 2019 XLT and it made a noticeable difference in noise level from the outside of the truck.

I haven't noticed much difference inside but then I'm usually listening to music.

I have an old diesel and I like to hear my eng running. I love the sound of Nascar. I am happy that I dont have an engine cover. I would hate a electric car. IMHOP put something useful on your truck.

Just make sure that when you order the Engine Cover, that you also order Engine Cover Studs and Engine Cover Nuts as well. Just like the cover itself, they are not included.

Ordered mine and it was noted that the bolts came with it. Install took all of five minutes and it looks cleaner in the engine bay. I have attended a lot of car shows and fancy that I might enter the Ranger in one at some point so this little bit was a vanity purchase

I understand. There is something about 40+ big V8 engines at full throttle roaring to the green flag that gets the heart rate up. If it doesn't you are not in the "Car Guy/Gal or Gear head" club. I must point out that you need to experience that live and in person to fully appreciate it.

For me I will keep my Ranger a little quieter for the times when you don't want that. I have a Mach1 Mustang with active exhaust on order to fill the big V8 sound need. I figure I better get that done before electrification does away with them, and also before I get too old to enjoy it. I am old enough to be working on my bucket list. Now there is an idea, maybe someone needs to make an active exhaust for the ranger.

As for electric cars, and god forbid, electric trucks, they should be required to generate a sound like the Jetsons car did. That way pedestrians and cyclists have a chance to hear them coming and not get run over.

That is where I got mine and yes everything was there and they were the cheapest by far.

Did anyone else not get a engine cover when purchasing their truck? My 2020xlt does not have one. I’m pissed to actually buy a truck for that much and not get one! Did anyone get one with their 2020 that wasn’t a lariat?

Ford deleted it along with a whole bunch of other stuff. Here's a running list of deleted items after the 2019 model year.
