Why do you want a cabin air filter?
Well, why would you want to change a filter in your AC/Furnace at home? Pure air, , less dust, and it helps with allergies.
No filter, and a car/truck air inside is 6 times worse than outside air due to the concentrated affect.
Also, IF you have one and dont change it, you run the risk of replacing a blower motor, or worse to the system.
Also, if it is clogged as many are that are not changed, you will get much less air flow...much like your house filter.
It is easy to replace most vehicles (10 min or less) and easy to sell, if the service manager knows what they are doing, and sell the benefits.
They need to be changed once per year

I am pretty sure my truck doesn't have one and I don't want one either. Less crap I have to deal with the better. Just another one of those things I consider fluff items. I run with the windows down more often than not, so it would be useless to me anyway.

Forgive me, but why is this such a big deal? I'm a service advisor and I can't tell you how many times people complain about having to change the CAF in their vehicle due to the cost of them. Most people that have them don't even change them anyway which makes for a bigger problem of mold and musty smells entering their cab.

IF you have the heated/cooled seats option, you have a couple in cabin filters (of sorts) ...
The traditional cabin filter was discontinued in 2008 (and even that was a retro-fit kit). Besides the fact that it would not fit the 2009+ F-150 ...
The kit (F65Z-18D477-AA) is (and has been for some time) *OBSOLETE*

I really haven't bothered yet trying to make any sort of filter to work under the cowl on my '08, but at least that has an option to set to recirculate the cabin air and close off to the outside, IIRC. The cowl cover is starting to make its own part, so maybe I'll look under one of these days when I fix that.
My '03 doesn't have that option, but it's got a filter and I'm okay with driving that around on dusty chemical plant roads.
