Hi All, long time lurker resurfacing with a request for some advice if I may?
My vehicle usage is not conducive to having a diesel DPF in that I do a lot of shorter journey with the occasional long run. For me the Rav does however tick all other boxes with 4x4, towing, MPG, boot space, SUV etc. My current 2007 XT4 Rav doesn't have a dpf so it doesn't suffer, however I'm at a crossroads in terms of investing in bigger maintenance/mods in my current one or trading to a newer vehicle which would most likely have to be petrol vehicle for the aforementioned reasons.
I have however come across a 2010/60 plate 2.2 D-4D XT-R and research suggests this also doesn't have a DPF.
Can anyone confirm this or advise which models to target/avoid for DPFs? If it doesn't have a DPF would it also be late enough to avoid the headgasket/coolant issues of the earlier D4Ds?
