Where is the block heater cord?

My truck has the block heater according to the window sticker. However, I can't find the cord anywhere. Does not appear to be in the front bumper as it always was. Anyone know where it is?

When I bought my 2011, the heater cord was tie wrapped up along the inner fender near the radiator.

On my 2015 Helen Keller could see it. Dead center lower part of grill. When looking for a truck I noticed the cord before I knew the truck was a Platinum.

Passenger side, Above the tow hook, inside the bumper part where the tow hook exits out of.

Yes I did. On the 2011-16 trucks, the cord was easily visible.

House Mouse, I will check.

On my 2016 it was by the tow hook on the driver side but your comment still helped me find it quickly. Thanks

That's weird, mine is on passenger side above tow hook, you know the heater is in the same place, why would the plug be on the opposite side?
