I recently bought a new (2022) 1500 Classic Tradesman (made in Mexico) and it came with an engine cover. Tried to remove it one day and broke the front mounting points on the cover before figuring out how to remove it properly. Wasn't anything in the owner's manual.

Hello Everyone, My New 2022 Reg cab Short bed 1500 View attachment 511288arrived after 8 months.
So I opened the hood and there was no top Engine cover. It's very noticeable because the mounting brackets are all there.
I asked the dealer about it and they said Ram has been omitting engine covers. Has anyone run into this? I wonder what else they are omitting?
Yep they stopped doing engine covers across many of the car and truck lines, except top of line get them. My Jeep Grand CherkoomLimited came without one. Bought my own off eBay.

It's a decorative piece of plastic. Also, you're not paying for it if it's not on the build sheet.

One of the RAM's biggest selling points is "style", so with that in mind I don't think its the best strategy. De-content expensive electronics instead. Truck will still look just as cool.

Sorry to reopen an old wound... Is it possible they were removed so the air breather inlet had clearance? It mounts at the front of the engine and comes from the breather box. I would love to have an engine cover on my new '22 Ram Classic

I think ram is just cheap, added money just fine.
