I`m unable to locate a block heater on the Ford website options page, does it appear on your build sheet or window sticker??

i've been told it's standard on all new fords?

I believe you`ve been misinformed.

Do you see a 110V plug in your engine compartment? If not ... you don't have a block heater ...

I tend to agree but seeing that he`s located in the G.W.N. (Canada) I thought I`d give it the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it`s included in a cold weather pack for our northern cousins?

Similar to Daytime Running Lights which are mandatory on cars destined for Canada

no reason to be standard not needed in most places
even toronto get that cold that often

if you took the antenna off our radio wont work

look at your car from the front, locate the lower grill, on the left side, reach inside the grill. the engine block heater cord will be clipped inside the bumper.

I think you`ll also have a small hole in the sheet metal where the locating pin fits
