DPF stats after 100,000Km on 2018 GXL Prado:
ECU firmware updated early 2019. Both Custom Modes enabled. New DPF installed at 80,000 service (didn't need it, but got it anyway plus 10 year unconditional warranty). Kerb Mass = 2,740Kg+.
Mileage Breakdown:
a. ~72,000Kms open highway (100-110Kms/hr (120 in NT)),.
b. ~18,500Kms tracks, gravel highways, sand dunes etc
c. The rest city driving.
d. Average economy after 120,000km = 10.2L/100Km
Fuel economy scenarios, tyres & rims:
a. City driving = 8.6 Ltrs/100Km
b. Highway driving (Wt ~3,050Kg max) = 12-14 L/100Km,
c. On Dunlop AT20 265/65 R17 = 8.5 L/100Km, city driving
d. On Toyo AT II, 265/70 R17 = 9.7 L/100Km, city driving
e. On Toyo RT, 265/70 R17 > 12 L/100Km, hwy driving fully loaded
f. factory alloy rims weigh about the same as steel rims but cost 15x more!
g. tyre weights (the rubber): Dunlop AT20 265/65 R17 = 16.5Kg, Toyo AT II 265/70 R17 = 22.1Kg, Toyo RT 265/70 R17 = 25.5Kg
Notes:
a. trips < 5-8Km won't produce the conditions for DPF to start a burn in winter. This is how long it takes to warm the engine to start/resume a regen.
b. 2019 ECU update significantly reduced the Kms between regens at highway speeds, and significantly reduced the time to complete a regen.
c. DPF burn quits at 8%, the residual energy carries the burn to 6%, and at times 4%, 2% or 0%.
DPF Manual button has Custom Mode enabled, used 6 times.
