Is everybody sure there right that these new diesels are great for running around town? I have always thought just the opposite. Your going go in to regen a lot more often. Also you never really warm the whole engine up. I drive my civic around town and the truck when working or hauling.
I've got almost 30,000 on my 2012 Ram CTD. I'm retired and unless I'm going camping (4000 miles yearly) the rest is around town with the occasional (every 4-5 weeks) trip somewhere on the interstate amounting to 150 miles RT. I've never seen the 80% clogged DPF emissions message. I don't have DEF so my regens are closer than if I had DEF. Zero issues so far. I'm really not sure where the 'can't drive around town' folk lore started. This is my 1st diesel so maybe it was on prior models or other brands.
I'm not going to say I won't have an issue today, next week or next year but so far no issues.
