Do the Willys edition Gladiators come with the engine cover? My Willys Gladiator did not have a cover on the engine. It was not there when it was offloaded from the truck, nore was it inside the vehicle. The dealership stated that some models did not come with one. Is there anyone else here, whose JT did not come with the engine cover?

I don’t the answer to your question but it sounds bogus to me. Why? Because the 3.6 engine is the same in all models of Wrangler and Gladiator. Why would there be ANY reason to equip one engine differently than another? They get them by the trainload and the same goes into all of them.

I feel they all should come with one, want it or not. Can't imagine why it wouldn't have one.

Sounds like a load of crap to me. 2021 Willys and mine has the cover.

I read that the covers have been deleted and that some may come with engine cover brackets still in place. Dealers were also told not to put covers on as they were not to be re-imbursed.

Non-engineers comment that they aren't needed -but then there's a reason Jeep and Ford and GM and others spend money on engineering and manufacturing of these things.
