On Fords it will be the 2008 and newer models.
Other manufacturers are handling it differantly, for the most part, diesel engines built after January 1 2007 have to meet the 07 standards which means DPF equipped.

I just got my 08 about 3 weeks ago and have about 650 or so miles on it. I have talked with the head mechanic at the dealership and he wants me to ride over to get it reflashed in regards to the regen cycle. I just happen to be over there talking with him and we both noticed the idle on the truck increased and the exhaust was crazy hot. Meaning that even standing 3' away it would scald you. No joke. He said the reflash was to ensure the regen cycle only happened while driving. If you happened to be parked next to a car, fence, or anything with the slightest combustability, it would ignite for sure. I would sure be concerned riding in tall grass.
Did I mention that I freekin love this truck??

Regen while towing.
Sorry if this is old news. When towing a trailer etc. and regen commences you would normally lose some power. Ford mechanic who just took some training on this said to just STAND on the pedal and it would cease the regen until you did not need the extra power. I guess pulling a heavy trailer up a steep incline would be a good cause to go out of regen.
