It's on the passenger side side of the truck inside of the cab, look under the dash and look up there should be a screw or bolt holding the cover on. I had mine done at the dealership like 3 years ago and it was about 65 bucks to have it done. I think that there is two filters and they are shaped rectangular.

good idea to change it if you haven't ever done so.

by the way, take some lysol and spray it into the heater coils when you change the filters. made a hell of a difference for me. (after you do this, avoid sitting in the vehicle with the ac on for a few minutes)
