2.7 engine cover

[Blue Max]

I'm looking at the JCR engine cover for my 2025 Heritage 2.7, but the application states it is for years 21-24. I contacted them and they said they weren't sure if it would fit the 25. Has anyone purchased one for a '25 model, and were there any issues with the install?
Thanks

I’ve always cautioned myself on adding an engine cover made out of metal, in this case aluminum as I feel it would contribute to higher engine temps. Not sure if it would or not, just my thought. I would consider adding one if made of plastic like many other car makers have on theirs.

I would definitely not do an engine cover just traps parts killing heat.

The hood does a fine job covering the 2.7

I understand and appreciate the replies. I thought about the heat factor, but thought it might be negligible. I just like the way the cover looks as opposed to the look of all that "plumbing"...

I had a plastic engine cover w/ insulation under it on a Audi I owned. The insulation was for noise. It trapped too much heat causing the wire insulation for the coil packs deteriorate and short out. I had to splice in a new harness. So say no to engine covers. Your hood is closed how would someone know that you have a unnecessary cover.

Do you drive around with your hood open?

I think my post #5 explained my interest in the cover.

Completely agree:

Just use it for show if you’re somewhere where the hood is popped open like at a car show. Otherwise I agree with others

@jvece121 took an OEM 2.7L F150 kit and put it on, looks decent.

I think the 2.3 foam rubber actually does a bit of sound dampening.
