I mightāve been able to live with this engine has its wiring harness nicely wrapped instead of the Rats nest I have covered with my engine cover now.
I hope somebody remembers to put the belt on the front of this engine though
( my pic with cover was right off the Ford site too)
Agree ? this engine was originally designed with this engine cover nobody here knows what it actually does but if it didnāt need it why did they design it. I can think of lots of reasons of course.
Here is their website photo of engine.
Yes I can think of lots of things that donāt need to be on...
Now you see it, now you donāt .
I know what I prefer!
but I do have a copy of a Ford memo to dealer confirming they deleted this cover the engine was designed to have!
what else have the cheaper out on snd not told us?
This and a few other items left off and down graded has certainly put a bad...
Hi, here is the cover I got , seems to fit ok . The wrinkles came out in a day or so .
Held on well in wind and rain , with the straps under. I need to poke the hole for the arial and put the patch on. Nasty mulberry tree just to the right .
See earlier post for vendor
If they want to do that they should give you a rebate or ārain checkā for when available
I bought a 21 version cover . You need a ball stud and threaded stud to install properly
I will check it our after next winter, I washed off a lot of salt grime of our Sub cross trek and my Chevy van , stopped a lot of corrosion on the aluminum parts etc .
anything will help ,time will tell and besides if Ford designed it and fitted it for years why suddenly leave it off ? For a...
Re FordRangerlift nudge bars .
In the photos on website they appears to remove the tow hooks. But looking at my tow hooks they mount with a long bar to the āframeā . I would want bars with similar mounting or the tow hooks in place
I have asked how the Forrangerlift brand attach but here is a...
I take your point but this cover is only held on by one nut and 3 push on ball studs.
it will also probably reduce the road salt getting to all those electrical connection !
Since Iāll have this BS for 15 yrs or more Iāll do what I can to keep it nice.
Really? Wow! What did they change , it only appears to be the thickens of the rear cushions that stop seats folding completely flat! Iād love to see a photo if you have time.
my seats are Close to flat but you could not slide a suitcase in easily from the back.
I didnāt know what I was missing on my 22 BL except the engine cover which I thought was a real ācrook of shitā on Fordās part. Having just paid $40k I went ahead and bought the cover ( that has been fitted to every 4 cyl engine of this type until now) from the cheapest online dealer/seller...
The head rests have no effect how flat the seats fold they only interferes with the front seats if too far back.
Removing the headrest completely makes no difference to the folding down of the rear seat. (they donāt fold fully flat on my 2022 Bafland with full-size spare/towing package that...
So this is an old post but an update for anyone interested. In my Badland with the towing package/full size spare tire combo the rear floor is higher but the seats still donāt fold flat.
The two different heights for the floor are for with and without the full size spare tire. I could not use...
Just bought the engine cover for 2.0L version
Online Rauch Ford $86
Worth every penny . The exposed wiring on top of the engine will get covered in salt grime every winter causing corrosion , did anybody look at the wimpy inner fenders? Just thin plastic you can push you finger round the...
Could sombody post a picture of the engine cover and insulation? And possibly part numbers ? I want to order asap
As my $40k new 2022 badlands came with out either. There is an officially bulletin on it.
such bullshit , all this connectors are going to get road salt in and corrode sooner or...
The engine bay looks like a crappy computer room with cable snd connectors everywhere. I live in the snow belt and we get 3-4 months of regular salt grime on the engines and these connectors are going to corrode sooner or later.
This engine bay is full of gaps around the fender wells too so all...
