The 2001 Toyota 4Runner comes equipped with a cabin air filter, positioned behind the glove compartment. To reach it, you'll need to take out the glove compartment and remove a panel located behind the dashboard. The factory filter is paper-based, but you can swap it for a comparably priced replacement, typically around $10. For enhanced air purification, consider upgrading to a carbon or HEPA filter. It's recommended to inspect the filter every 6 months to ensure it's clean and functioning well, replacing it if necessary to maintain air quality.
