It's on the trailing edge of the oil pan. I'd say you can't miss it, but obviously, you can.

The oil filter is directly in front of the block (at least on the '03+ V8s), and there's a piece of sheet steel directly behind the oil filter (towards the rear of the car)--that's th oil pan. There's a big ol' bolt sticking out of the trailing edge of that sheet steel pan--that's the drain plug.

On my '04 V8, I could almost reach it without jacking up the car, but I put it up on ramps when I'm changing the oil so I can look around the underside...

Drain the engine oil.
Remove the lower splash shield.
Remove and discard the oil filter.
