What year did Land Cruisers come with Cabin Air Filters?

When did Toyota start installing cabin air filters in the Land Cruiser?

No filter.

IDK year. Or if they even did in the USA.
The info is probably on here but to lazy to search for you if its is on here. The LX's had them from the beginning.

I don't think anyone's been able to say definitively this MY got it from there on after. Been pretty much hit and miss on what trucks have it year over year.

None in our 2001. And the housing does not have the means to install one (I disassembled my glovebox to try).

I have a 2000 with the slot for filters. Not sure if the PO swapped the housing for one with a filter door, but I doubt it.

Ya, its like @Trunk Monkey wrote - it's really hit and miss.
My 1999 had the slots so just had to insert the filters.
If your LC doesn't have them you could just install the kit.
@cruiserpatch has the retrofit kit on his site.

LX cabin filters were standard, LC it was an option.

It is a very good idea, to install cabin filters. They keep the evaporator radiator clean of debris.
