I find the DPF process will run every 400km. I've also had a second (much shorter) regen occur a few times the next time I have driven the vehicle. I think it does a self check and if there is still the need it runs a quick DPF burn again.
Some other people have indicated that using power mode rather than normal or eco modes means more regular DPF cycles every 200km travelled.

Today i took it for a short spin and it did the same thing, seems to me it is starting to do this too often?

Doesn`t regen properly/fully standing still unless it is a forced regeneration, so the vehicle must be moving at a speed of at least 30 mph for 10-20 minutes.
Check your handbook for the exact regen instructions.

At the completion of the drive the DPF was 46% blocked. They handed the car back telling me the DPF System was functioning correctly and doing what it is suppose to do. They handed the car back and it was still in "Regeneration" mode.
So, according to Toyota (not the dealer) the DPF can do the "Regeneration" process for a varied length of time and a burn taking in excess of an hour whilst driving along the freeway is "normal".
I know this is not the case. Even their own Owner Manual says that if the DPF is so blocked that you get a message on the dash, you only need to drive it for 20-30 minutes. But when the DPF is normally functioning and doing it's random Regeneration it can take an hour?? Me thinks not!!
Other Hilux owners I've spoken with are having similar issues but many are not and report that the Regeneration process takes somewhere between 10-20 minutes. That is much more reasonable and consistent with all other manufacturers.
Don't really know where to go from here since the manufacturer is denying there is an issue?
