How do I know for sure if my 2018 3500 tradesman has a cab air filter

[Slaw32]

I see at 20,000 Mile recommended maintenance schedule that I should change my cab air filter . How do I know if my model has one ?

Empty and open your lower glove box. You will see the tabs on each side holding it in. Pull in slightly on them so the door and box will come out. Look up under the dash where the door was. You will see where the filter goes or could go. If you don't have one, you can order a kit to add it.

Your 2018 will indeed have a cabin air filter. My lowly 2018 RAM 4500 Tradesman has one. I always use a FreshBreeze # CF11671

Any idea how often it should be changed ?

. Any idea how often it should be changed ? With 20,000 miles on it in 2 plus years you can see it doesn't get used much , I mainly use it to pull my fifth wheel camper .

Does it smell like those little green trees?

What year did the filter become included as an OEM item?

I am curious if I have one on the 15 LongHorn?

To my surprise my 18 3500 tradesman came with the filter. I was planning to buy the kit to add one. I looked to see how much of a job it was going to be, and there was a cover. I thought sweet, I removed the cover to find a filter too. Glad I discovered that or i'd of bought the kit.

Usually filter should be changed once a year before spring - pollen season.
In very dirty environment twice!

I did read that. I was hoping you would check YOUR truck.

There seems to be no logic in it, for many years now some have them from factory and other not.
Would be happy to know that too which ones get it.

At least all have the provision to install one.

My 2018 2500 Tradesman came with one.

Maybe this image will help you see what you need in order to release it...

Yep , not sure what I would do without the great people on on this site , I suppose I could pay someone to do it for me , and over charge me for it . A simple flick of a small screw driver and door popped open . Picture doesn't show it , but a lot of crud in the bottom of the pleats . Thanks again , you guys are the best .

That one is clean compared to the one from my 2013 Dodge Dart that I bought used July 4th, 2019. Apparently it had NEVER been changed.....although the CARFAX showed great maintenance otherwise.
