no more motorcraft....
Air filter for my truck, motorcraft, $45.00 at A ford dealer here in CAlgary Alberta.....Bought a fram at Canadian tire for $16.00..Stay away from ford dealers ( Unless Warenty ) for basic maintence items...Fram or purolater may just make motorcraft air/oil filters...

I think L.B.'s point is the rip-off price of the OEM filter, not the cost relative to the price of the vehicle.
I'm equally offended at the profiteering of my local Ford dealer that charges $6.00/QT for Motorcraft 5W20 oil that can be bought for less than $2.00 (formerly $1.77 @ WallyWorld) from other sources.
Needless to say, I do much of my own routine maintenance and purchase products that are fairly priced, e.g. Magnaflow 15834 @ $383 vs. $479, etc. etc.

Castrol Syntec Blend 5W20, which meets/exceeds FoMoCo specs and retails for $2.99, can be had for under $2.00 on sale. There is, of course, no technical/engineering/warranty reason to not use the more-available 5W30 oil in your rig...the real issue is CAFE related, not lubrication sufficiency.

For me its 5-20w in the winter 30-70F and 10-30w in the summer (boat season) and its about 70-105F
And if you lived in a cold climate, 0-20w for sure, easy startups in below freezing temps

With all due respect, you bought a $20 or 30-something thousand dollar truck, and you're upset over $45.00 Canadian for an air filter?
Wait 'till that thing runs out of warranty. You ain't seen nothin' yet, bubba.
