I guess if I have issues I can return it. It's Amazon!

Can't see why anyone would have a problem, I think that these are all the same? Anyone have any issues, take a photo
Haha, I get what you’re saying. There’s some people that have zero common sense. Pair that with zero mechanical aptitude, and you have things like this:

There’s a bunch of good reasons why auto repair shops stay in business, and this is a great example. I’ve also aeen a guy take 45min trying to change one wiper. He was standing on his hood trying to yank off the blade. It was a true facepalm moment.

I'll change mine soon. Spring pollen season is almost here. When the oaks turn everything green it will have to change anyway.

Funny, when I had a Nissan with free oil changes, the service guy was telling me how bad my cabin filter looked and that I should have them change it for $50. He had the real stupid look on his face when I told him that model didn't come with one....

Cant seem to find a filter replacement on amazon or autozone when I input 2020 model and see various sizes might be compatible. Anyone know of the real filter size I should be looking for on a 2020 build? not sure if limited means any difference in the size.
Freshbreeze Carbon CF11671 will fit okay can buy it at Autozone....forgot the price but its cheap!

If you installed the k&n, can you tell me which part # for you? I have a 2020 bighorn and the VF2065 seems to work for the 2019 and I assume it will
Work for me also. That said, I saw somewhere on here where someone had an issue with it not being the exact right size. Thanks for any help you can share on this.
the 2019 and 2020 are the same...

My dealer just quoted $83 to replace mine (10k miles). I guess I'll be going the DIY route.

I have 121,000 miles on my 2017 and never changed the cabin air filter. Never really worried about it. Somehow I’m still alive from breathing dirty air. 😆

It's not so much breathing dirty air, as there really isn't a filter bypass when it gets dirty, but it can/will significantly effect your HVAC performance. If your A/C is subpar in the heat, or the heater is taking longer to warn the interior up, it's probably due to reduced airflow from a clogged cabin air filter.
