New Ford Ranger DPF

I have just watched your excellent video on the new Ford Ranger. You make the point that, when cruising on the motorway, the engine will be revving at 2000rpm. Will this be enough to activate the DPF? Didn't Mazda have this problem with their big engine saloons?

I think so, but I don't know so. The 2.2 revs much higher so if you don't really need the massive low down torque of the 3.2, better to go for the livelier 2.2.
