Are engine covers optional?

My 2023 wildtrack has no cover on the engine.

None do, you have to buy it online aftermarket.

Thanks for the info, I’m new to the Bronco family.

Hey G, where’d you score that one? Haven’t seen it yet…

Check on Amazon, got my for 110.00. Not sure if this is an issue on other years but mine is a 2023 and I had to cut down one of the brackets it came with to make it work.

There are 2 covers I know of for the Bronco.

Is there a reason Ford didn’t put a cover on the engine? Heat soak issue? Cooling? I can’t imagine just cheap

JCR Off-Road makes the best engine covers that I know of. I have the 2.7L one. Really cleans up the spaghetti mess.

Sure you can, and you don’t even need to use your imagination.

I use the JCR one on our 2.7, cleans up the engine nicely. Completely unnecessary, but I like it. I did have to trim the front a bit as it rubbed the tube there in front just a tiny bit.

Thanks for the links.

From a practical standpoint, every Bronco’s hood is an engine cover. Installing a separate device just for hood-up cosmetics is superfluous. JMHO. YMMV.

The factory Ranger cover works on the 2.3, know that doesn't help the OP with a WT but just putting it out there since the title was generic.

Seems there was some early chat couple years ago some did??? Im not sure and dont know the post but i do remember reading about maybe or maybe not they would have on each engine so thats probably the confusion but less things to hold up a build so its good

The hood covers the engine
