Previous work has summarized the physics and first results of benchmarking the trapped gyro-Landau-fluid (TGLF) model for turbulent transport driven by trapped ion and electron modes, ion and electron temperature gradient (ETG) modes, and electromagnetic kinetic ballooning modes including the effects of shaped geometry. Recently, an improved collision model was implemented which provides a more accurate fit to a transport database of nonlinear collisional GYRO [J. Candy and R. E. Waltz, J. Comput. Phys. 186, 545 (2003)] simulations of long wavelength driftwave turbulence. The impact of the new collision model on TGLF modeling results was unknown. Using the improved TGLF model we obtain excellent agreement with the ion and electron temperature profiles from 30 DIII-D [A. Mahdavi and J. L. Luxon, Fusion Sci. Technol. 48, 2 (2005)] hybrid discharges. The transport results show that the electron energy transport tends to be dominated by short wavelength ETG modes in cases where the ion energy transport approa...
