Greetings Bronco fans.

My 2.3 Bronco looks like it has the mounting locations for the engine cover studs that comes on the 2.3 Ranger Lariat.

Are we thinking the Lariat Ranger engine cover will snap on granted I get the mounting studs?

There is some pretty flimsy wiring on top and would be nice to get something to seat over it and help protect it from splashes/mud.

I'm wondering the same thing. If it does, I will definitely pick one up for my Bronco.

I haven't taken delivery of the Bronco yet, but was planning on pulling the cover from our '19 Ranger Lariat to test fit it.

Modern engines are pretty darn ugly compared to carbureted engines of the past such as the FE 390 in my T-bird.

Oh No!! I just bought the Mustang ecoboost engine cover for my Bronco assuming it would fit.... I didn't consider I might need the Ranger version. I'll chime in after I test fit it. 😟

I have a spare Mustang one laying around I might try too, but the lack of cover doesn't bother me either.

Well I see you're banned, but for anyone else, the Mustang cover is a no go. Way too many incompatibilities, least of which is the mountings points are completely different. It's a shame because it's a nicer cover than the Ranger.

This might just be my opinion, but it just gives the rodents and squirrel’s somewhere cozy to sleep after they chew your also not included hood liner (high and Lux only) and use it for bedding as they explore your coil pack/ intake harness for caloric value. It looks fine without it on the 2.3. The 2.7 is another story.

Nice! Where did you order it from? Also, you had to order the two studs separately too?
I think everything was separate, the cover, two studs and two lock nuts. I got it from my Dealers parts dept. I can see if I can get the part number for you.

what he said. I usually junk the covers anyway, so they beat me to it

I can see prices skyrocketing on these in the near future.

Is that picture the real result? Does it not look like a toupee on all that?
