Block Heater
Oil pan heaters are a very good idea for cold areas. See a post I made about months ago I am in Alaska and bought a Ca. 2017 Expy with no block heater.

Adding a Block Heater-How Difficult?
Hey thanks for adding me! I live in Palmer, Alaska and just bought a 2017 Expedition XLT that came from Ca. Since it was delivered new there, it does not have a block heater.
