I just cannot stand the DPF technology on the new diesels. Some day soon I think they'll have it figured out to where it will just use SCR and tuning. The regen process is stupid, and a very clumsy band-aid. I don't like the idea of going into limp mode when I am out on a slow dirt road somewhere, or catching the cheat grass on fire because my 1200+ degree exhaust came into contact with it.
By dpf I assume you mean def technology. I was a little concerned about how often I might have to add def, but after putting about 6600 miles( about 3000 in Colorado) the def is almost a non issue. Most truck stops have def for less than $3.00 a gallon
At the pump. Every Walmart and auto parts store has it in stock.
I carried five gallons with me on my Colorado trip because most of our travels were in pretty remote areas. Brought most of that home with me. I ammnot sure how much my truck has consumed but it has not been much. I am guessing but I have probably used around 10 gallons and probably 2/3 of that was towing.
