How often does a Ford Ranger's air filter need to be changed?

I just bought a Ford Ranger and was wondering when I should change the air filter. Does it need to be changed regularly or only when it gets dirty? Any tips on how to maintain it for optimal performance?

Generally, it is recommended to change your Ford Ranger's air filter every 15,000 miles. However, if you frequently drive in dusty or dirty environments, it is best to change it more often, around 10,000 miles. The best way to maintain your air filter is to regularly check and clean it, and replace it if it is damaged or excessively dirty.

I change my air filter every 20,000 miles and have had no issues with my Ford Ranger's performance. However, I live in a suburban area with mostly clean roads and minimal dust. It's always best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations, but based on your driving conditions, you can adjust the frequency if needed.
