Anyone know a source for this engine cover

Toyota dealer or online Toyota parts seller. FYI that is for a transverse mounted engine so if you are thinking about trying to use it on a Tacoma it probably won't fit.

Good to know, in regards to transverse mounting, I suspected Toyota parts sold it, probably $700 to $1000 my guess

As a FYI, that cover is used on the Highlander, and Lexus equivalent, in which the Toyota T24-FTS engine is mounted transversely, not longitudinally, as it is in our trucks. As I understand it, that cover is there to direct airflow to the back of the engine when mounted in those vehicles, my guess to provide air over the turbo/headers.

Those plastic covers for the Highlander cost $175 for the 2024. I had a friend who replaced one. It won’t fit, but just telling you for cost comparison.

Victory 4x4 makes a nice one for under $200

Meh. I don’t have an issue with the engine not having a cover. The hood covers it on a day to day basis. What do you want to cover up?

Modern engines are ugly. It's a little dress up for it. Don't want it? Don't buy it.

I will assume this makes the engine run a little bit warmer than usual. I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing or a nothing. The Victory cover looks like a bash guard. Looks awesome. This is one of those times I fear second-guessing Toyota.

No practical need ( or Toyota would have installed one)
I was researching the engine, images were shown with a cover, I now realize those were transverse mounts.
