I just had to order a spare from a Toyota dealer on eBay, these are hard to find! I thought I was done with the oil crap once AFE came out with a dryfit for my 2005, ugh!

Ok gang, follow up from a while ago. I just went to replace mine, using the part number referenced here in several places, and the filter I got and the truck filter are NOT the same part.

I kind of wonder if one is a pro and one is a Trailhunter, but I don’t know. The one on the left is out of my 24 Trailhunter, the one on the right is the new one:

my only guess is they put the wrong thing in the box, because the part number seems right. Either way, I’m fucked, Toyota won’t take return special orders, so I’m gonna have to buy another one- $150 some odd down the drain.

They have to take that back, it's the wrong part, period. I just checked mine and it is the same as OEM, here is the part number I see stamped on it:

2024 Tacoma Trd Pro / Trailhunter engine airfilter Filter-2


Also, AFE now makes some that have a good variety of use cases, OEM fit and they specially say Trailhunter or TRD Pro, I ordered the blue one for long highway road trips:

Why'd you go with the blue?
For long distance highway cruising, +13% more airflow. I will swap back to OEM once at the destination.

To your other question, I have been running AFE Pro Dry S on my supercharged 2005 for over 100K miles with no issues.
