Yes, the removal process is the same as the video except I have a plastic duct covering the top of my cabin filter access door. There was another YouTube video that showed the issue last year.

I don't mind taking things apart to get access. I hate all of that stuff held together with the plastic clips, I'm afraid that the plastic tabs will eventually break off.

OMG why do ppl lie so shamelessly?

First time 20 minutes = 16 of labour + 4 of beers.
Following times will forget how they did the previous time and will be 20 minutes = 1 to remember + 5 of labour + 14 of beers!

I don't think there is a specific change interval, it's a "lifetime" filter according to ford. My dealer even refuses to acknowledge there even exists a filter in the truck...

Default Cabin Air Filter

I bought my truck new, never smoke or ride with the windows down. Only been on a unpaved road twice. My cabin filter was NASTY
If you have not done it- it does make a difference in air flow. I did it myself and usually I tend not to tackle those type of things esp. with interior plastic panels. But I got on you tube and had to look@ 2 or 3 of them cause each one would leave out one important step, but even an old idiot like myself did it pretty easy

You guys that have not had it replaced really need to get it changed!!!!!!!

Mine is a 2015 with 40K on it. I know the dealer recommends every 15K or so, But I had no clue about it-- that was until I saw a video of a guy in Canada that had a 2016 with about 11K on it--100% city driving and his looked about like mine did. From now on I am changing mine every 15K. Wish I knew how to post Photos, the side by side comparison is big

As easy as it was to change, and seeing the other fellas filter @ 11K- I will do mine @ 15K
The air flow is noticeable
