Hood Insulation Available?

Is there a hood insulation pad and/or sound deadening material available for the Bronco? I thought I saw a First Edition Bronco with a hood insulation pad of some kind. If I am correct, is it available for all trim levels?

Is there anything bad about having this installed? I was curious if it might keep the engine compartment too hot, which is not a good thing considering the operating temperatures of turbocharged engines.

Chris here. I drive a 2-door Velocity Blue 2023 Ford Bronco Badlands with Sasquatch, Lux, a 2.7L V6, and an automatic transmission. It’s fun.

FE and high/Lux got it (might just be Lux). Check out AM products. Maybe dynamat (might be spelled differently)

I thought all Broncos have the under hood insulation but I guess not based on @BuckYeah post above

My Badlands with the High package has insulation.

For those of you that have lower trims or don't have the high/lux package and want to order it, the part number is M2DZ-16738-A which is around $130.
You also need the push pins - W705002-5300.

Thanks, fellas. I appreciate that. I couldn’t find the photos I saw of the engine bay that included the padding. I do think it looks odd to see no insulation under the hood, but was still curious if it would cause the under-hood temperature to rise. These turbochargers are heat generators!

Pretty sure the insulation is for engine noise, and has very little thermal insulation properties, or so little it doesn't matter

If you are off road a lot isn't insulation a bad thing? Has the potential to keep more heat in, when you want heat out?
