i mean im no expert but. from reading alot of different things. the common reasonto cover was to keep the turbo warm…. if it gets to cold in the turbo issues occur. this was even with gen 3On the Gen3 it is not required. I had to correct the service advisor when he told me my warranty could be denied if I don't use it.
I've driven my truck in -30°C and it starts, warms ups fast, and runs great.

The turbo runs at insanely hot temperatures. It's the least of your concerns. The winter cover on the Gen2 engine was to help prevent intercooler icing. It's not required on the new one. The owners manual says one is available, not required.i mean im no expert but. from reading alot of different things. the common reasonto cover was to keep the turbo warm…. if it gets to cold in the turbo issues occur. this was even with gen 3

The downhill probably didn't help.My '21 ED takes forever to warm up when 20F or less w/o the grill cover. Last year went skiing in the Rockies where it was 8F and it was 30 miles all downhill to Denver and the truck never got to operating temp w/o the cover. So, now I put the cover on if it's going to be less than 20F for a few days.
