Most 2020 Rangers stopped coming with covers. Then only Lariats had them.The Engine cover should be there & it may not of been left off by the Factory , who knows what the Dealer looked at or cleaned or what ever , ya never know . I would make sure they got on installed . Now the Hood insulation , I don't need it, but colder climes might .
The insulation is tecnically an “insulator” and effectively dampens engine noise. It’s not for protection in cold climates. It’s definitely not standard on BB per my conversation with fordparts.com but it seems that some have it on OB and some don’t judging from the posts here. I added it to my BB and appreciate the difference.The Engine cover should be there & it may not of been left off by the Factory , who knows what the Dealer looked at or cleaned or what ever , ya never know .

I plan on getting one... if my BS gets built and when I receive it.The insulation is tecnically an “insulator” and effectively dampens engine noise. It’s not for protection in cold climates.

I don't see how it can be a sound deadener when you're inside the BS , maybe from outside , but if you think it does , more power to ya . I hear more road noise then anything & thats only when the music stops . LOLThe insulation is tecnically an “insulator” and effectively dampens engine noise. It’s not for protection in cold climates.

Correct its for engine noise nothing to do with cold climates. But if ppl want to install one cause they think it keeps engine warm sure go ahead put one on. Hood pads nothing new. They have been on cars as far back as the 60s. And they have always been for noise suppression not as blankets for your engines in the winter.The insulation is tecnically an “insulator” and effectively dampens engine noise.

Ford should issue every one that has vehicle delivered without one a refund OR a voucher for the cost of the cover and studs in the future as they were supposed to be there and included in the pricing when you ordered your vehicle.just picked up my Bronco Sport Outer Banks 7-1 and no engine cover or hood pad. Dealer said ford no longer putting on due tomorrow parts issue. No studs either for Eng. Cover mounting.

Anything built 5/21 and after does not have engine cover, and plug in back is changed to USB port.I just bought my OB a few days ago. Popped the hood yesterday to show my dad in law. And was like wtf. Missing insulation, and engine cover. Contacted the dealership and he said they didn't come with a cover. I said I can see where you bolt it on. And sent parts numbers. I live in a northern state, I would like my insulation and engine cover. Manufacturing date was 7/21.
Luckily the dealership ordered me a new engine cover and all the parts. But they did tell me that yes they are manufactured without it after a certain date. I do have the plug though and two USBS in the back tooAnything built 5/21 and after does not have engine cover, and plug in back is changed to USB port.
