Ah, yes, that makes sense now.
In that case OP, I would wager that taking your SUV on a 30 minute "joy ride" once a week would probably be the cheapest option.
Agree - it needs to come up to temp and stay there on a regular basis to allow the normal regen process to work.
I used a 2009 3500 diesel as a daily driver for a while - 3 mile commute. The DPF system did not like that at all. The only cure if not towing was a "joy ride". 30 minutes of HWY driving took care of it.
I have not had any issues with my Diesel Canyon, but my current commute is stupid long.
