Default In-cabin filter

Do these trucks not have in cabin filters? I'm amazed at how dirty, and dusty the inside of my new truck gets. And not just dusty but little particles of dirt and whatever that i can actually see and pickup....

I was wondering if maybe the filter was missing, but then figured it's probably just straight outside air coming in?! Anybody know for sure?

To my knowledge they don't. If they did, it'd be a real pain in the *** to change.

You can get a cabin filter... It goes in the cowl.

Thanks for replies. I'll pick those up for the summer and try em out, but they'd be frozen in two seconds here all winter...

I used these for 2 years, winter and summer, and the worked very well (got mine for $50). Had no problems with them freezing up in the winter--5F lows in south western PA. Definitely kept out the dust and leaves that were getting in. The only problem I had is that on my 05 QC, they stick up a bit and interfere with windsield washer jets. So I removed them and installed heavy duty black fiberglass screen netting on the underside of the inlet grills on the cowling. This keeps the leaves out, but does nothing for the dust. If you don't mind the small complications, then they work great...
