Hybrids don't come with an engine cover. Some of the Ecoboost ones do. As for straps for the box, I'm assuming you refering to tie downs for the cargo area? (truck bed).

Is there a reason no engine cover on hybrid
No reason. I'm use to engine covers as well so this is a first. I will say however that all cars came this way with no engine covers up to the mid 1990's here in america.

Engine cover, I guess I'm old (or ancient ) school. I've never had a vehicle with an under the hood engine cover, the big shiny hood works for me.
For tie down straps etc, a visit to your local Princess Auto store will give you many,many choices.
I've got about 8 ratchet straps, some bungee cords and the red flag (long loads) all stored in the bed cubby, always there just in case of a surprise purchase.
I also added these to 8 (4 each side) tapped holes that Ford put in the side of the bed for the adjustable tie down rails. eye bolts

Welcome to the club and CCongratulations on getting your Maverick!
Now that you have it, perhaps one of your first mods is to add a Maverick Truck Club decal so you can properly “represent.”
Two styles/sizes available:
Maverick Truck Club Decal (Glossy) | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum, News, Owners, Discussions ($5 delivered)
Maverick Truck Club Decal (Transfer) | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum, News, Owners, Discussions ($6 delivered)
Mo Mav models come with a cover. Engine covers are a pain in the butt. They are put on engines where people want to look at something pretty instead of functional. They need to come off every time you need to do any maintenance other than filling the oil. Even at the dealer they have to factor in the few minutes extra futzing around getting it on and off. You can get on off a wrecked Escape if you really want one, but you also have to add two of the missing click pins under it.
