Foam prefilter ???
Got a few questions first one being what the hell is this thing for? Second is doesn't need to be in there if it's not snowing I live in Washington state and we do get rain as of right now but no snow anymore and hotter whether I go through car washes. 
. So I just checked there is no pre foam filter in my truck is it necessary

I guess it just comes down to your opinion if you want to use it or not. Personally, I've kept mine in place. Reasons, 1. I didn't want to give the dealer or Ford any reason to reject a warranty claim. 2. I can tell you on my truck it did not make a difference if it was installed or not. I didn't see any better MPGs or better temps.
I bought an extra one and change them with each filter change. When I get a chance I will wash the dirt one with dish soap and let air dry until the next air filter change. Not saying it's a perfect method but it's just what I do.

Mine has gotten dirty so I guess that prevented the larger one from getting that debris. Not sure on the "need" part, but the next time you change the filter, I'd put it in.
I can also stop rain from making it's way to the paper filter, since you are in Washington State don't you get that light misty rain?
