New Raptor! Question about Engine Block Heater Cable

[nikhsub1]

Block heater is standard in several states. States were cold is defined as 'when my **** hits the ground, it's already frozen'.

Hi all, thanks for the follow up on my question. The block heater cord was really pinched between the bumper and the facia, but after a little "finessing" I was able to push the cable inside the bumper and zip tie it secure.

To answer a couple questions that came up in the posts:
- The hood protector is Ford OEM and is mounted flush to the paint surface. I like the flush/tight look. It is the same hood protector for the F-150.
- I picked my Raptor up in Montana and it was a no charge option (code 41H), and yes I think it is standard for Raps being sent to certain really cold states.

Thanks again!

Interesting, did you pick yours up in a cold weather state? Can't imagine Ford including engine block heaters on every Raptor and didn't see that as an option? I ask as mine is coming into St. Louis, MO and wondering if it will have the engine block heater (don't think so)?

Pardon my ignorance but in the OP’s first pic, what is that chunky cord dangling in the opening where fog lights can go? Is that the actual engine block heater, or is that the hookup for fog lights? I just picked up a 2020 Raptor and have the same cord dangling but don’t know what its for. I havent noticed it on the other side of the front bumper.

it should be the cord for the block heater.
