I seriously have to wonder why "drivers don't want to fill DEF tanks too often" is given as a reason by automakers to skimp on DEF injection. DEF costs, what, $15 for 2.5 gallons, which lasts a couple of thousand miles, and can be filled either at a fuel station or at home, no dealership required. If dealership visit is required, well, since when are automakers concerned about dealerships making too much money from servicing their cars?
- problems 9y agoProbably just more mental overhead people don't want to deal with. No one wants to remember to do more stuff. If you're comparing 2 trucks, one with a DEF system and one without, chances are as an average consumer, you're going to take the one without because it's cheaper to run and less effort for you. Heck, the other day I was looking at some electronics on a very large Chinese shopping site and ran across a device that can emulate DEF systems in 8 different manufacturers vehicles with no actual DEF consumption occurring for ~$15. People are lazy, cheap and just don't give a shit.
