Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and cabin air filter on your 2026 Toyota Tundra helps you make smarter maintenance choices. The engine air filter protects combustion by keeping dirt and debris out of intake components—this preserves horsepower, fuel efficiency and towing capacity.
