Do Raptors have cabin air filters?

[gwpfan]

The 'vents' behind the seat and between the bed are backdraft dampers, they are designed to let air out and not in. Mainly there for closing the doors.

Those that want to add a filter need to make sure it is oversized. A filter restricts airflow and if it wasn't designed for it then can cause issues especially for your AC. If your AC doesn't work very well already, then this potential mod will definitely make it worse.

I vow to figure this out. A premium truck without a cabin air filter just isn't premium...

Eh I have about 10lbs of sand, 5lbs of mud and a 1/2inch of dust in my cab currently. Filter probably isn't gonna do much other than clog.

When it clogs, you just replace it. Ta-da!

Your definition of premium involves an in-cabin filter? As long as the oil filter, intake air filter, and transmission filters are included I'm good.

To all the naysayers of the Raptors / 2009+ F-150s not having cabin air filters ... au contraire!
*Caveat being that you would need the heated/cooled seat option ...

​

NOTE: Recommended scheduled maintenance is 30,000 miles. *Your mileage may vary.

More cabin air filter information .....

The last F-150 that "could" have a cabin air filter was the 2008 model(s). Though it was a retro-fit kit (the cabin and HVAC was redesigned in 2009 and the kit (besides being obsolete) will not work) .....

FFT - cowl filter ... (done to a Crown Victoria - which also does not have a cabin air filter)

A Raptor uses the same cab and fresh air intake as a generic F-150 XL - of which Ford sells a zillion. Most of those are going to be fleet sales and fleet managers will not want to mess with an additional maintenance item. I would bet that 90% of F-150 owners could care less if their truck has one. If you don't want dirt in the cab, set the HVAC to recirculate.

But Kaiser recirculation doesn't keep my truck clean off road, lol. Then again nothing can keep it clean and I am fine with that. Nothing like turning on the defrost for the first time when it turns cold and getting pelted with sand blown out of the vents.
