F150 XLT Motor Heater ?
I have a 1995 F150 XLT. I never had a truck so please advise. There is a plug in front of the radiator grille, so I assume it's for some kind of heater to keep the engine warm over night. Just at what temperature do I need to use it ?

No certain temperature. I usually leave mine plugged in at work when temps are below 20 or so. Gas engines dont gel up like diesels so you dont have to use it, just makes it faster to warm up and easier on the engine. They usually draw around 600-800 watts though, so use a good extension cord.
