Need help finding an engine block heater for a 2017 Tacoma

So I’ve been researching on getting an engine block heater for my 2017 Tacoma Double Cab Offroad Longbed 4x4. I’ve looked at Kat’s, Pyroil, NAPA & and nothing comes up for a 2017 Tacoma. Has any one here installed one on a 2017 Tacoma and if so, was it worth it? I like getting into a warm pick up in the morning instead of having to wait 10-15 minutes for it to warm up the cab. I was spoiled cause I’ve got a diesel with the engine block heater and it works great. Any input or suggestions would greatly be appreciated on brand, part # or another way to heat up the engine block. How about the ones you install inline with the radiator hose to circulate the radiator fluid, are the better? Please help, getting cold out there. Thank you in advance.

 

Toyota has one, made by Pyroil. They run them in Canada. Here’s a part number. Maybe it’s superseded. Check with a dealer to see if you can get one. If not you might have to find one online.

Toyota part: PU140-00911

 

I've read where those heating pad type elements that adhere to the oil pan are superior to using a block heater, and are easier to DIY

 

Lawfarin, do you have one in yours? If so, how do you like it?

 

Thought about those ones that adhere to the oil pan but thought that I might tear it apart while off-roading.

 

The current block heater for the Tacoma is sold as individual parts.

There have been a few threads where the block heater has caused CEL, may want to read up about it.
Roughly the ECU sees two different temps at startup.

 

I found one online with the part number that was provided, Toyota part: PU140-00911. Can someone please confirm that this will work on a 2017 Tacoma 3.5 V6. Hate to order for it to not fit. Thank you!

 

Dumb question but what is CEL?

 

Don't ya hate when people throw out acronyms like EVERYONE at TW knows what they stand for?
I hate it! At least spell it out once.

 

It will fit.

TW is

• Totally worthless
• Truly wonky
• Trusted wackiness

Fill in the blank. LOL.

 

Nice heater - except for one slight problem. I can see my lovely bride forgetting to unplug it before leaving for the office.
I can deal with a cold start when driving to a destination - my wife, not at all.
