Just got my 2020 XLT 302A. Looks like the engine has mounting points for an engine bay cover but no cover. Do others have an engine bay cover?

You saw the link posted to the previous forum, but to sum it up XLs and XLTs do not come standard with an engine cover.

If you're going to purchase one you can order it through your dealer and use your FordPass points for it so it won't cost you anything.

Not to beat this topic to death but that is one purchase I made that I’d take back if I had to do it over again - I really only bought it in hopes it would muffle the fuel injector buzz but it’s still pretty noticeable...

You know, for all the sound the buzz makes, the cabin isolates from the road noise pretty damn well.

Yes! No wind or road noise, especially compared to my previous car. But I do hear the buzz. It does not bother me, just a kinda mechanical sound.

Thanks for sharing. I've been going back and forth of having this on my list to help with the buzz. I don't particularly care about the looks all that much, but if it hardly (or not at all) helps the buzz, then it's not worth it IMO. I don't mind it, but having it quieter is always nice.
