My understanding is it depends where the truck was originally shipped. Cord has been standard in many areas, but if truck came out of Texas or Louisiana, it might not have the cord.

maybe you will have a look at those webasto "Blue heat" engine and cab heaters too. 17000BTU heat up your truck engine and cab within 30 minutes up to operating temps.
Once you have it you never won't go without.

Yeah an Espar or Webasto hydronic water heater is a thing of beauty.
