Nothing wrong with giving credit where credit is due, the Toyota 4.7 is a well designed and engineered V8, no doubt. Not quite on my top 5 list of the best engines (IMO), but on my top 10, for sure, top 5 are:

• Ford 240/300 "Big" six
• Ford 260/289/302 small blocks
• Ford 351C
• Chevy small block
• Mopar Slant-Six

As you can see, I'm a Ford guy and a retired mechanic/firefighter, I recognize good design and engineering in an engine when I see it (and worked on it as well).

Ok where's the GM 3800 V6? That's gotta be on the list at #6 at least? Was bulletproof until they tried to make the gaskets cheaper to save $0.10 (typical GM).

Got it. Fast delivery from Levittown so that is great to see. Installed, can’t tell if it’s any quieter as I always have music on and do not have a reference. Looks like it belongs there….go figure. Lol

Personally I was super happy my 2020 didn’t come with a cover. Keeping additional heat trapped near my coil packs and companying wiring harness something I am happy to avoid.

But the fuel pump is indeed loud and while I’m sure it helps with that, if forced to choose I’ll take the benefit of less trapped heat in the coil pack area and deal with the noise.

I've been considering make a full length engine shroud myself from a thin gauge metal sheet. Connects from rear of bay to the front of the bay, wide enough to cover the engine but still open on the sides. Then locate some heat resistance material to attach under it and still give plenty of clearance from engine contact.

It could also come in handy when overlanding....

Wish our trucks came with this.. 22 STX.

Anyone put one of these on?

You don't want to know about the other 30 items deleted from your model that 2019 has....

Plenty of people added them. They only came on Lariats up to '21 I think. Made it look finished to me so I added one. Some say it quiets down the high pressure fuel pump. I dunno as I'm half deaf anyway.

The ultimate flex is a 2019 Lariat owner with the hood up (no prop rod), exposing the engine cover!

I put one on my 21 XLT. Just looks more complete to me.

This. Same.

Same on being half deaf. I don't think it covers the pump. But, it does help a little with the injector noise.

I agree. It does help the noise. Noticed a difference going through the drive thru after putting one on. It didn’t kill the noise but did tame it.

Check with Benny on teh Levitown thread for a spipping coupon, I could not find all of the exact parts cheaper!

I was gona ,but I think it was about 100 bucks, so it got pushed down the list a little... damn shame an engine cover is an "accessory " now...

When I added the engine cover it made enough difference that my wife noticed it without me telling her I did something.

Noise outside the truck is significantly reduced.
