Does the 2007 ford sport trek have a sensor in the block heater?

No , it is just a heating element similar to an electric kettle ( as long as it is plugged in and the power is flowing the block heater is still " on " ) You can use a timer or some other method to cut down on your electrical use if you like , as far as I know a well maintained vehicle doesn't gain anything after the block heater is plugged in for 3 or 4 hours , although you can leave it plugged in longer if you want

If you are plugging it in regularily, you can save yourself a ton of money by adding a timer. 2 or 3 hours is more than emough to start any light duty diesel in any weather.
