Engine Cover on a 2021 Tradesman Classic

[1500_Classic_Tradesman]

I opened the hood and did not see an engine cover, is this normal for a 2021 Tradesman Classic. I ask because I purchased the vehicle new and just now opened the hood.

I can't say for sure, but it would be my assumption that it would have a cover. Have you discussed this with your sales rep? Take a look at another Tradesman Classic (if you can find one) and see if it has an engine cover. As a side note, it's hard for me to understand how someone could buy a new vehicle without looking under the hood. I do that before even sitting in the driver seat LOL.

Bought mine without looking under hood, hell, don't even think I drove mine! I already test drove another months ago and ordered mine

That's one of the biggest things keeping me from ever ordering a new vehicle. I've test driven brand new trucks which were identical except for the color, and they drove distinctly different. I don't think I'll ever buy a car or truck that I can't test drive first.

True, well there will not be a next time. I will defiantly look at another and speak with the sales rep. I have no idea why on a new dodge tradesman why one would need to remove the engine cover. Saturday I will go and investigate the missing engine cover.
