Block heater and option? WTH?

Buddy of mine bought a '05 yesterday and him and my cousin were looking it over, and my cousin called and said he had just spent 30 minutes looking for the plug for the block heater. After not being about to find it (even crawling on the ground under the truck

) he gave up and read the owners manual

and it stated that the block heaters are now only a factory installed option

What gives?
