The XG+ is the most spacious and largest cab ever in the market today. Hopefully you could review one soon, Stavros! 😊👍

[@ChrisBakerTrance]

I wouldnt be worried about what i am driving. More concerned about the cabbage at the end of the week. Clearly theres an issue with wages because nobody wants to drive them. You can have all the fancy bells and whistles you want,no good without a driver in the seat

[@lzh4950]

In my country drivers are paid on a per-trip basis, which has been blamed for incentivising them to speed

I'm from Holland and working at the assembly line and had to laugh about the apple tart send to you , I had one also send to me

[@johanbos160]

Nice video stavros wit a lot of good information ,the new daf looks really good and the APPELTAART too 😂😂😂😂👍👍

[@wolfdale_3m]

That "dual steering wheel" moment on the new XG+ was funny. I also noticed it myself when I looked at the wiper orientation that it was RHD.

[@David_Crayford]

Crying with laughter! Thanks that was a good laugh. I will say this: however underpowered a P series rigid, it still moves faster than the best castle in Ireland. ;-)

[@davidlumb1882]

Well looked after and clean xf fair play to the driver 👍you are right about the ding dongs very irritating 😖a little lip as opposed to a completely flat floor stops dust and bits of grit getting all over the cab but that's about it !!

[@truckingwithwim8039]

You can download a app on your phone and you can basically place a daf truck using your camera and with it you can also place the interior and in it you can see it has a little hump on the floor not more than a good 2/5 CM

[@johndavis8175]

I am sure daf is having a laugh with you with the apple tart😂

Had a p series identical to yours those back door locks fell out whatever holds them at the top came out I got them changed

[@The_One_Over_There]

468K miles on a 9 year old truck is pretty good. it looks like it's in a good condition too. Nice find :)

[@Cakeboss-dj2sr]

Sorry but you can clearly see that he steps in the truck at the left-hand side that's because it's a left hand side truck you can also see the camara filming him sitting at the left-hand side of the cab upto now as far as I know we didn't produce a right hand side truck as yet and I'm on the assembly line of the new DAF truck

I tought that tin was going to be cookies

[@robertoenduro9439]

Nice to see no cracks in them body plates, am a truck Mechanic / supervisor all to often I have these jokes missing little things that and tyres hanging off the rim, sorry for my little rant there, beautiful truck thought

[@coolguy10060]

That intro 😆😆

[@LA-ph6hh]

What is the obsession with a flat floor, as long as you can get from side to side, does it matter if it's not perfectly flat

[@p1kkujuha]

It does matter when you have bad knees.

[@LA-ph6hh]

@@p1kkujuha can't be that bad if you climb in and out of the cab...how many times a day???

[@p1kkujuha]

@@LA-ph6hh well at least for me the problem is the knee angle, not the repetition. Climbing up and down doesn't require me to bend the knees as much as getting up to engine hump from drivers seat. I'd much prefer a flat floor.

[@p1kkujuha]

@@ItzChaza it's somewhere between 10-15cm in my truck but it's good to know that I don't need to prefer a flat floor and find an engine hump annoying.

[@starrysky1865]

Well kinda daft for DAF truck to send you that i guess 🤨..i thought it should comes with some significant novelty of some sort considering that was some cool metallic container. Anyway enjoy the 🥧 buddy 😁. Cheers!

[@luketranter4279]

I've been to the Malvern truckfest and spoken to a spokesperson at daf. They have said the reason why the floor is not completely flat in their XG+ model is to stop dirt and debris from going across the cab from drivers boots

[@Dextar300]

This is exactly what I was thinking must be the reason, Stavros himself was complaining about dirt getting in his cab with his Scania in one of his past videos "Because the sides of the floor mats weren't high enough." Meanwhile I was thinking a small hump would take care of that. Plus putting higher sides on the floormats would just create a hump again? Also, I've never heard anyone complain about the humps in the floors of trucks, even if you don't think they're useful for keeping dirt out of the rest of your cab, they don't get in the way as long as they aren't higher than 10-15cm (and I'm being conservative in that) Bottom line I think flat floors in trucks is nothing more than a (marketing) gimmick, and is actually annoying at best to actually have other tan some sort of bragging rights

[@mml1357]

Cheers. Enjoy the apple tart.

[@HarshanaJayatilaka]

An appletart 😂, i expected it to be atleast one of hotwheels truck.. and also watching the launch video for like two times i never noticed the right hand drive turn into a left hand drive until i watched this 😅! One more comment about the mirror camera, i know someone driving an actros who's camera stopped working.. so thats a hazard of such technology 😕 there has to be some sort of backup since side mirrors are an important aspect!

[@lzh4950]

4:10 Previously saw a Mitsubishi truck that put the bunk above instead of behind the seats, allowing the truck to be shorter

[@HamptonSimon]

Hahaha that fucking DAF noise at the start 😂

[@onedayatatime4232]

An apple tart.....wow 🤣😂🤣😂

[@keiji_six]

So, can we replace Jack In The box with the Apple Tart In The Box? Anyway, very nice video 👍👍👍

[@kavyman1066]

69 horsepower in the Civic... NICE!!

[@marcosbatta3508]

Your presentation has Kenworth noises, ITS funny

[@Buick_GSX]

I wouldn't be surprised if in a year or two DAF releases a completely flat floor cab. Being the first to market with the new dimension regulations probably meant they had to cut some corners, not just because of cost.

[@shauncollins8369]

The old livery is definitely nicer

[@toptrucker2k8]

Have Rory lynch bought that 6x2 Renault T in the background of your video Stavros?

[@garethifan1034]

My opinion only to the question here - Initial reactions are that it's come up a bit short..especially compared to the XF

[@gregmorgan5332]

Does that mean if the laws have changed that the xxl Volvo will be legal to run with a full size trailer to ?

[@Trucker-Moosey]

The new daf range didn't maximise the regulations it only did 50cm rather than q full 1 metre extra and it really annoys me that it hasn't got a flat floor. Like this just showd how much more scania care about their customers they don't cheap out on a bloody step 😅😅 I love the flat floor of the cabs. It just adds to the premium feel and you know that a manufacturer really thought about their customers when the truck has a flat floor.

[@desoshea5411]

Oh no!

[@stuartcraigon2003]

Presumably the apple tart is because it originated in Holland and DAF are a Dutch company

[@janvanrenselaar5998]

Why daf don,t have a flat floor. I have heared that the did that to make the Cab construction stronger in case to a head on-collision. It seems that those struts deform the cage construction in a head on collision. Don,t know or that is the real reason

[@gafrers]

The question is now this: "Is DAF being Daft?" Another great video

[@vanontherun2843]

Haha that Apple tart cracked me up! On a more serious note... ...It's interesting to see an established operator like yourselves buying older trucks, would it be possible to do a before and after of such a truck from when you purchase it to when you start using it? It's clear you guys have put some effort and money into a respray including the chassis etc, would also be interesting to hear why you purchased that particular truck etc. Cheeeers.

[@markemarkpsv1]

Why is a flat floor important?

They’re more comfortable to live in. Makes the cab feel bigger because you’re not tripping over an engine hump when you move around it.

[@p1kkujuha]

Much more comfortable if you have bad knees.

[@johnbell6854]

I don’t like flat floors you can’t make tea on the go it’s to low down plus any dirt travels across the floor would not have a down hill daf any way only any good in the flat roads of Holland

im not to excited about the new daf range.. and im not a fan of the mirrorcams.. i have tried those on the mercedes actros/antos.. i couldnt see depth like i can with mirrors.. plus.. if the cameras break down.. your not allowed to drive anymore untill you have a replacement mirror/camera.. more downsides with the cameras.. if it rains and there is a drop on the camera.. youre vision is gone.. if you got a sun set in the rear.. your screen turns white when the sunlight points into the cameras.. with normall mirrors i can read numberplates, see the driver.. even see the company logo on some vans.. with the cameras.. i cant see any of that.. only thing daf needed to fix if i would ever want to get one ( as i have driven some aswell) is the bugs and faults in the adblue and NOX sensors.. if you have any of those fauls the torque/horsepower output will drop by 40%.. and that happend a lot with a CF euro 5 220hp truck.. and with 8 tons of load.. i could use a calender to get up to 90 km/h

I think DAF has always made nice trucks but this new technology not having real mirrors would be a big no no for me mind you automatic gearbox is a big no no for me .
