In one aspect, an air intake system for supplying air to an engine of a work vehicle may include a cooler box having a first wall and a second wall, with the first and second walls at least partially defining a chamber within the cooler box. The air intake system may also include a screen defining at least a portion of the first wall of the cooler box. Furthermore, the air intake system may include an air filter assembly defining at least a portion of the second wall of the cooler box. The air filter assembly may be configured to remove particles present in the air exiting the chamber of the cooler box through the air filter assembly. The air exiting the cooler box through the air filter assembly may be supplied to the engine for combustion.
