Winter front for the Raptor

[Squatting Dog]

Since the Raptor is a "desert" prerunner... How does it fair in colder climates?
Driving in negative temperatures affect warming?
With the wide open front end, hood and side vents cool off the engine too much?

Would a winter front help? Would it help keeping snow/slush/ice from potentially clogging radiator?

Best picture I could find... And they do not make on for the Raptor.

Just wonder because of the block heater cord pass through on all Raptors. Is this just some left over from other F150 trim level. If cold climate Raptors get/need block heaters from factory as cold weather prep package.

just make sure you have windshield washer fluid thats rated for the freezing temps, and make sure you have antifreeze in your motor and not water. diesels need block heaters, gas vehicles will be fine.

I'm just giving you shit Greg. We go up to the UP quite a bit and I've never had a engine block heater or a radiator protector on any vehicle.
