So, what do the trucks that don't have the filter have there? Is it just open and uncovered where the filter/door would go?

No, it is not open. The area where the opening should be is plastic that can be trimmed out which would then allow you to add the filter. You can also purchase the "door" as mentioned above. Use the search feature in the forum. There are several posts with more details.

i hope the guy that forgot to put in the door to replace the filter got fired.
what a **** poor design.

2015 trucks didn’t come with them from the factory. They didn’t get them till 16 or 17 I believe.

My 16 didn’t have on either
'16 were hit and miss, if I remember correctly the early production ones didn't have filters, some had just the door but no filter.

Trim level determine wether or not it will have a cabin filter. 2016 Laramie did not, 2017 Limited does.

It's not trim level dependent. My lone star has one. It is year, and for one year (2016 I believe) it is partial year if memory serves me (early production run that year did not have them, late production run did).

When I worked at a Dealer as a Mechanic, It was a common practice to rob small parts from a new vehicle out in the parking area and not tell anyone, they never knew until the vehicle sold and prepped, then a new part was installed and charged to warranty. Even on Used !!!
