I have always thought this was strange! On my 2005 5.4 F-150 XLT 4x4 Screw I have noticed that I have no insulation attatched to the underside of my hood. I just thought it was a cost cutting measure, as all my prior vehicles have this.However since looking at a lot of picks I noticed that they do have insulation??? Whats the deal is this standard on all F-150's or only on some models ??????????

 

it's a FX4 and higher trim thing

the XLT isn't "refined" enough for the extra padding. I'm sure you can get one for cheap though


but you're talking about this right?


you can't see it from the picture...but some f'ing rat ate mine...found the nest under the intake manifold on the block.

 

My '06 XLT has insulation under the hood... my brothers Lariat has insulation and all of my co-workers with 04-08 F150's (several) which range from XLT's to King Ranch's all have under hood insulation...

Who knows... maybe someone removed it?

A replacement is only $47.84 from the FTEPARTSGUY.com

 

Try a parts yard for one.

 

Not too sure why you'd want one....

 

Thank You for the Info. I called Ford today and they ran my Vin # and said according to my production date it does not have one. When I asked why he could not answer . He did say that any year 04-08 would snap in no problem.

 

My 2007 XLT has it.
Not really needed though IMO.

 

my 05 xlt did not have it... my 07 lariat does.....its a noise reduction piece for the person who asked why.....Maybe it depends where it was built????
