So this is about pickup trucks and not medium / heavy duty trucks? It never occured to me when I had my 2000 F250 7.3 to use a grill cover, and I don't see them around here at all on pickup trucks.
Even the heavy duty trucks don't seem to have the grill covers like they used to. Back in the '70s and '80s seemed like 4 out of 5 big rigs had covers, now I rarely see them at all.
Would newer engine designs account for this?
my 04 duramax and 15 duramax came with the grill cover. IMHO if you do a lot of short trip, stop and go in temps below 0F or so, then it likely would help in warmups. But as I mentioned, I haven't seen a need for using it even in temps down around -20F on the highway,
