OP here, again thanks for all the great responses. I keep trucks forever, my last F150 was 13 yrs old with almost 250k on it when I finally had to call it a day. Technology has advanced a lot since them, This new truck is pretty amazing and seems to do everything for you. Per the manual the glow plugs are automatic. Sensors determine if they are needed and for how long and the engine goes into pending start mode until it's ready to crank. I'll have to look into the block heater but frankly as little as we travel in the cold and it's not really frigid it sounds like I won't really need it. Pulling the FW we usually arrive in MD with about a half a tank of fuel, so I can get fuel once we arrive and have a half a tank of blended. I'll top off the DEF before we leave.
Anyway, thanks again all. Lots of what I learn on these forums can't be found in a manual and it's very valuable.
