2026 Ford Transit-Cargo-Van Air Filter in Lakewood, CO

The engine air filter sits inside the intake airbox in the engine bay, while the cabin filter is typically behind the glove box.

The 3.5L V6 in the 2026 Ford Transit Cargo Van draws air through a sealed airbox designed for easy access with basic tools. The cabin air filter mounts within the HVAC case, commonly reached through the glove box area. If you operate around Denver’s dusty corridors or mountain construction zones, inspect both more frequently.
