Engine block heater

Since I haven't figured out how to search posts I will make one. I have a 2020 f150 with 3.5 ecoboost. I was thinking about adding a block heater but I can not find the correct part. Can someone tell the correct part for it. Some parts say it's for a 3.5 non turbo. Don't know what the difference would be between a turbo and non turbo when I thought they were all turbos. Also looking for a different brand then kats as it sounds like they aren't very good

You won't need one unless you get well below sub zero often. My 2020 doesn't miss a beat outside below zero. Keep a good battery in it.

I live in the north where it gets 30 below and sometimes colder and no they don't all come equipped from the factory. I don't have any problems starting. I just wanted less wear in those Temps. When they screech and groan in those temps

When I lived up in the great white north (north-central Minnesota), we all had tank heaters in our cars. Just plumb it into one of the heater hoses and it will keep the coolant at a warm temperature. Real simple, and I think it does a better job than a block heater.

I bought my truck brand new in San Antonio, TX and it had a block heater from the factory. It was a special order that someone passed on.
