I hope all you folks with missing items are getting receipts from your dealers.
It's not missing if it's not supposed to be there in the first place. But I'd welcome any documentation that says a 2022 is supposed to have one so I can talk to my dealer. I haven't seen anything to date.

Take a look at "Ford Build Your Bronco Sport"(https://shop.ford.com/configure/broncosport/config/interior/Config[|Ford|Bronco Sport|2022|1|1.|.R9D.....BLD.]?gnav=header-suvs-bp). Picture of engine "standard on Badlands" clearly shows an engine cover)

That pic could be from 2021 when they did come with covers or just some older stock photo. Those build and price tools are not 100% accurate.

Is there anyone out there that actually has a legit serial # of a 22MY Badlands with an engine cover?

So far everyone is reporting no cover on '22 2.0s

Well there you have it! Except this tiny little detail...

I don't want it anyway as it looks like it makes it more of a PIA to add oil. But I'm still curious if anyone ever has success in getting their dealer to provide one at no cost.

2.0 still comes with engine cover it the 1.5 they stopped putting them on.

Take it for a good test drive before you sign make sure its a good runner. Look at roof too by opening door and stepping up so you can see up there.
Is this still accurate? My Badlands 2.0 does not have an engine cover. It does have the hood liner though.

Because we should have one for the money.. Along with our passenger side under dash panel.. you dont want that either ? That engine cover and panel both dampen sounds. That 1.5 engine is a noisey lil bugger. The cover helps a bunch. I have 1

Just to get past all this engine cover stuff. I'm picking my 2022 BB up today and here is a combined list of everything I could find on the threads.
Cheers,

BRONCO SPORT DEALER PICK UP CHECKLIST:
  • Did my deposit get applied to the cost?
  • Did I get everything in my order and is it all on the window sticker?
  • Under dashboard piece passenger side
  • Tire damage from transport?
  • Paint issues near headlights?
  • Scratches from improper cleaning
  • Hood insulator
  • Panel dents ?
  • Missing skid plate screws
  • All of the aerodymanic underneath side covers are there?
  • Wrong tire pressure?
  • Full size spare? Jack under spare?
  • Lift the cargo floor and check the spare and jack. Is it supposed to be a full sized spare?
  • Refueling funnel for filling with a gas can
  • Is there a manual?
  • Get (2) keys and the card with the master door code on it
  • Front license plate bracket if you need it and even if you don't, you may move.
  • Check the function of everything you can:
    • Heated seats
    • AC
    • vents,
    • wipers and washers.
    • The windows and doors,
    • the hatch and glass, etc.
And if there is anything they have not provided to you, make sure you get a "We-owe" document that itemizes those missing things.

Its easier to get anything wrong fixed before you take delivery as they have an incentive to get it done now.

Have the sales person help you hook up your phone and get you set up with Fordpass so you'll get your points quick.

If I didn't know better I would think that lots of people missed the 30+ page thread about the engine cover. I was just making a joke. Should have known I am never funny.

I probably would take the sport even if I hated it just to resell it in 6 months for a profit. My poor thread got a bit off topic now so I hope any future replies can bring it back on track.

I consider the question answered unless anyone has personal experience to share on what they had to go back to the dealer over that they should have noticed at signing.
I had a big chunk out of my tire that we didn’t notice until the next day when I happened to see it in the garage. The dealership did not detail well and scratched the black panels all up. Also my back window had scratches on it which they tried to buff but didn’t work. I still haven’t heard it they are going to do anything more. Not thrilled with my dealer though so not sure they will do much. Frankly, I don’t think I want them to touch it right now. They did give me a free oil change as the parts department forgot to give me 10% off my accessories and then couldn’t figure out how to give me points back. I love the vehicle other than that! You will too. Enjoy it!
