Actually, not nearly as bad as it could have been since I had never changed the cabin filter before, so almost three years of use!

If you drop down the glove box, You'll see a plastic insert with a couple of screws. It's behind that.

Behind the glovebox. If you have a higher end trim you need a trim tool or I have used a paint mixer stick to pop the nicer trim loose, or you can man handle it like on an XL if you don’t care and have enough practice.

Youtube video will help.

Exactly, so common for people to diagnose and advise other people on what to do an how to do it , yet their own stuff is worse.

I know/knew the maintenance schedule, didn't care about the cabin filter until I needed to when it started to affect a/c operation.
May not change it again for another couple of years.

I was able to get my fingertips under the edge of the rubber trim piece that hides the scews behind it, and pull it loose from the right end, then pull the left end loose.
The thing I kept doing was leaning against the passenger seat power controls, causing the seat back to lay back and the seat to move back, too bad there isn't a way to turn those off temporarily.

I agree with you on so many points, some items are subjective

I follow the severe duty, based on heavy towing, idling etc..... does I accelerate everything?

Cabin filters are very subjective. Mall cruisers, for example, probably are less dusty it's been a super duty that works construction sites for farms.

Smoker versus non-smoker etc.

IAQ obviously the base on your surroundings.
