On my 2005 tundra they decided it would be a good idea to put the oil filter upside down on top on the motor, so when you unscrewed it oil poured out everywhere. Unless they expect you to invert the truck or reverse gravity

i never understood it, like when i got a mazda miata in last week. oil filter was half way down the engine block in a little dip so that you could BARLY see it and was covored by just about everything else.... i figured it would of been good for another 3 thousand miles.... but what i think is.... why is it when the newer models come out, they make it harder and harder for mechanics
good mornin fellas! have off today, then work tomarrow and saturday... i find out tomarrow though if i still have a job

That looks more like it would be a Coolant filter with the lines run to it, I can't imagine them using those hoses and clamps for oil, maybe if I had a different picture. Not that I doubt you, since it is your truck.

hoses are probably an oil cooler in the base of the filter housing
