Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2018 Ford Transit-Van?

The engine air filter protects the engines intake air, while a cabin air filter (if equipped) cleans the HVAC air for passengers.

On the 2018 Ford Transit-Van, the engine filter prevents dust and debris from entering the combustion system, supporting power and efficiency. Some Transit-Van configurations were not built with a cabin filter; where fitted, the cabin filter targets pollen and particulates for interior comfort. Herb Chambers Ford of Braintree can confirm your setup and install Ford-spec components.
