Last night I had opportunity to drive XF first time in my life. Usualy in my company we use CFs an MANs. So far my favorite truck was MAN XXL but it changed last night. I'm very impressed of this truck. Smooth ride, comfortable driving position and lot of space inside. It is love at first drive😀 you're doing good job mate, carry on 👍🚛🚚💪

[@rodneypurdy8203]

One thing about stavros, every video is done in fine detail. Very thoroughly done.

[@rahulsanyal3893]

But I haven't got to see the headlights and wiper controls 😞😞 🥺

[@patrickmusson4571]

I love the spotlights on the top of the cab, you don't need to waste money on a roof bar to attach other lighting.

[@ciprianicincou2619]

When it comes to fuel consuption Daf is the truck. just an opinion , for me DAF XF is the best truck out there. i have drove volvo scania latest model but daf xf is my favorite. comfort , low fuel consumption, torque power, speed, good looking. DAF XF is the truck to have.

[@donnellykieranj]

Seriously impressed by that interior. Lovely.

I've been in a daf xf 2017 for the past 13 months now and I've done 60k and we have had no trouble with it apart from a service every few months and tyre change apart from that nothing broken or falling off and never broken down .loads of space in cab and loads of power when needed .only gripe i have is the bed is a little short but I'm 6.7 apart from that the truck is perfect

My boss won't entertain a Scania or a renualt on the job as they don't last we also have 3 Mercedes that was brought on a wim and there absolutely demolished!

With all these small improvements to aerodynamics we seem to see year on year, which manufacturer will be the first to give a fully re-designed cab exterior i wonder. Great video stavros as always, in my opinion DAFs were always the most comfortable trucks i ever drove, i love the wooden trim finish on the dash, just gorgeous.

At the age of 12, at a tire shop, I was lucky enough to climb into an "owner operator spec" DAF XF105.510... My first ever experience in a truck, and it was hella nice.

[@TomskiZima]

Ive been out in a MAN TGX 460 recently with the traxion gearbox, they used to have the same as-tronic as the DAF and i have to say it isnt amazing but just abit better in every way. Smoother, easier to manouvre and seems to pick the right gears more often than not, unlike the old gearbox which was hopeless.!!

[@radubest1097]

The new MANs have TipMatic gearbox, that's a Scania box, not the TraXon

@Hello Adrian how are you doing

[@8vRocco]

A lot of the features you pointed out are some I have equipped on a Kenworth T680. I also learned that DAF is also part of Paccar! Lots of similarities like the red accent lightning you will find on some Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks in North America. At least you did a review in the rain instead of the snow!

[@keiji_six]

now i know that DAF have some details we can't find on the competitors. Nice review I love it. and, can you do a review on a Volvo FH16 2009 tractor head? Cheeers.... 👍

[@MrTubbymarshall]

Love the Daf. Lots of room and storage. The best bed in trucks by far. Cab is a bit soft and wallowing in corners, but that’s what makes it comfortable. The only model to have is twin steer. Positive steering in winter and slippery conditions. My negatives. Ridiculous gear selection, very slow, sometimes wrong gear. Uphill, steep inclines. Takes too long to recognise gradient. Exhaust brake needs massive improvement. That’s it. Apart from that, faultless. My favourite truck.

[@mikestewart7322]

Hi Stavros, great vid mate, DAF is a lovely truck in those specs. Don’t get the gross weight on the small and large mid lift option, being the same. Surely the larger wheel is heavier so would reduce payload. We can ponder that for a while, it’s still a truck that has great comfort and is going to leave you feeling great after a long day/drive. Cheeerrrs🚚😂🇬🇧👍🏻

[@amx907]

Hi Mike the smaller wheels won't be much lighter & you'd have to weigh both different types of tractor unit to determine if there is a difference. What is important is that whether you have the smaller or larger mid lift wheels those two different types can CARRY the same amount of weight regardless of whether or not one is lighter than the other.

[@mikestewart7322]

guy kendal ok, cheers for that Guy, sorry but still don’t get why a small and large mid lift option is offered. How do you make the choice? Sorry to be thick on this. I have a pretty good knowledge of truck weights and configurations , this thing just jumped out at me. It was, what?🤔🤔

[@alfiewhittaker3763]

will you be doing any videos with E Stobart Ireland?

[@alannewman8735]

First time watching these Stavros videos. Brilliant to watch and learn from as a newly qualified driver. And the odd thing is, the Iveco test drive was filmed just up the road from me.

[@lgaming8310]

Hi starvos do you find the steering heavy at slow speeds in the xf daf 530?

Each DAF has heavy steering 😠

Hated the old Daf auto gearbox, hopefully the new one don't take an age to decide what gear to change into next.. Great review 👍🏼

[@tobiasburen8340]

@roger murtaugh why not? I drive MB Actros, MAN TGX and Volvo FH at our company, and they work ok, good and very good. And a friend of mine will buy the fifth DAF with that gearbox, so, it can be not the worst.

Ignition key needs to stay in and needs to be at first step all the time if you want to use 12v socket. It's sort of sleep mode.
