- 2015 Explorer Limited
Hello Explorer fans,
This is my first post. I just ordered a 2015 ruby red explorer and can not wait until I take delivery sometime in late September. I recently received my vin number and saw the projected build date is my birthday. How cool is that.
Anyway I ordered the Limited with the 301A package. While I was sitting talking to my salesman I told him I also wanted an engine block heater installed. Can't do that, he said. Not for an Explorer being delivered to Illinois. Only Minnesota, North or South Dakota, or another Northern state will Ford install a factory engine block heater.
In my Explorer I am getting heated seats, a heated steering wheel, dual climate control, heated back seats, rear window and mirror defrosters. That sound like a truck that is going to a northern climate city. But I can not order a block heater. If I lived im Miami Beach and wanted a block heater installed, what business is that of Ford's. I'm paying for it.
Can someone give me a reason why I can't get an engine block heater in my yet to be built Exporer?
