Engine Cover?

[604Bronco]

I know this probably sounds like a stupid thing to comment on, but all the pictures I've seen of the Bronco at events/pre-production pictures appear to have no engine cover and seems to have a lot going on under the hood... kind of "messy"... not sure if that'd be the right term. Maybe I've missed some other pictures out there.

Just curious if this is a typical pre-production thing or if the final versions will be cleaned up a bit? I would imagine a cover would help keep some of the off-road dirt/water off too.

Dirt, water, and everything else will come from below. A cover on top wouldn’t change that.

Not sure about a cover being offered, but at this point in the process, I’m thinking it’s a no.

True, but I also find crap gets in under the hood so it would stop some; wouldn't hurt really.

There will not be an engine cover

The reps at the event said, there will be NO engine cover..

No engine cover as far as i know. I'm going to see if i can work a 2.7 cover from the f150 onto it. We'll see.

Interesting... well thank you for confirming that!

Why not ?

not a stupid thing to ask. every other vehicle ive had has had a engine cover. Maybe its a truck thing. I would say its a ford thing but both my Lincoln and my Mustang had them...

It would be nice if it would work but looking at the 2 I'm not sure. Maybe an aftermarket company can make up something that can help though.

F150 (picture I found had a circle on it. not sure why lol):

Bronco 2.7 (via Bronco Nation and this thread Bronco 2.7 ):

not sure yet, but might be able to use one of these

OEMs seem to be spending less effort on engine bay beautification in recent years. I’m guessing they realized it didn’t rank very high on shoppers want list of desired features.

Circle is showing the oil filter canister location

Honestly, I’d rather not have a cover... unless they can make one that pulls heat outta the engine. I don’t really care what it looks like under the hood, until I’m working on one, and then I just want it outta the way.

There must be a reason
