Just to remind everyone, this is a 1st gen so their intake choices are limited.
The draw to Volant for both 1st and 2nd gens is that it is a closed box system. This will help keep your low end TQ for launching off the line or towing a heavy load.
You are correct, a standard cone filter will draw in more air but that will only give you top end HP but not low end TQ that trucks need.
Now if you offroad or live in a rainy area, the volant is almost a winner hands down.
Side Note: Remember a truck is very different then a car. Cars used open style intakes since they want the high end HP since they are pretty light. Now trucks are heavy and require some TQ to get off the line and if you are towing, it requires even more to get it moving. This is why most people drag race cars, not trucks but once you try a truck, you are hooked, lol.
