I have had my 'new' JGC for 3 months and done 10000 k's with a 2.8 ton van, very happy so far.
The power and economy is great, from 90 to 110 in 6th gear (direct) is effortless acceleration for overtaking a road train! If your in more hurry you can always go back to 5th, but rarely needed, even on steep hills.
I am getting below 15 litres per hundred Kay's average for all those km.
Without van touring have had under 8.
I don't think the DPF is any more an issue with this vehicle than with any other makes. As far as I know problems relate to use rather than design.
