Flipping heck Stavros... you were right on my doorstep ( I work accross the road from lancs daf ) and I saw this next gen daf on the road probably you driving it 🤣 great video as always pal 👍

[@peterjeavons8476]

I dont know why DAF continue to send vehicles to the UK with double bunks as we don't double man in this country its locker space we need DAF

[@Invocated_Agitator]

Some people preffer top bunk cuz it's usually harder, wider, and/or they preffer to sleep up top than on the low bunk. You can use low bunk during your breaks, especially in this daf in which you can shape it for maximum comfort for your rest, and use top bunk for your sleep. And if you don't use your top bunk for sleep, i am sure you can easily use it for storage no problem. You can even mount some containers there without having to screw anything, needs a little invention on your part tho. I really don't see a problem with that.

[@kp-qr6hy]

@@Invocated_Agitator I see the problem ,perhaps daf need to use there imagination,there is next to no storage space in it ,fridge is to small ,looks cheap

[@janerikeikeb6297]

@@Invocated_Agitator They could do like Volvo, Scania and MAN, were you can choose between an upper bunk, or more locker space. Of course you can use the upper bunk for storage if you don't sleep there. But it's safer to keep things in lockers.

[@Invocated_Agitator]

@@janerikeikeb6297 That is true yes.

@Kyle6_F1 U wot mate?

[@joehart4370]

Nice truck .always liked the Daf.. comfortable

[@kylej7478]

Daf-inately a well designed truck, looks comfy!

[@kp-qr6hy]

Kyle it's definitely not a well designed truck ,so many things r already behind the competitors, when the other big names bring there updates out ,daf r going to be also rans again, it's a pity because they started with a clean sheet of paper and made a very frustrating job of it ,apart from the space there's nothing that is particularly good about ,it's not up with the big swedes on quality,design ,cost , oh well another 30 years waste

[@kevingoodwin9887]

Another good review, in my opinion a flat floor doesn’t work unless you are operating in clean conditions, eg a rdc with a small engine tunnel you can keep the dust and muck in the footwell and not over the entire floor area with dust etc, at the end of the day it’s no hardship to lift your foot up slightly to move into the centre of the cab🙂

[@richarddoran3877]

Totally agree with the engine tunnel. I drive a new FH, and the small engine tunnel of 3 inches or so is perfect on our mucky job.

[@jimmyzoom1143]

I like how led lights cause the screen to flash and when there is a drop of rain on the cameras lens you get to see F all

[@startmotortje]

great video again, thank you! the reflection on the infotainmant screen comes from a protective foil, when this is off the reflection is gone. look closely at the edges of the screen in your video and you will see that there is a foil on it. greetings from the Netherlands

[@riccman0719]

Manufacturers need to start paying you for these reviews.. they are so detailed and awesome 🙂

[@realVicTorres02]

Cheers Stavros! Finally you've reviewed the new generation DAF! 😎👍👏🚛

[@thebigbowler]

Finally a new truck video! Good to see you back.

[@patricio001568]

Received my XF yesterday so this video was very helpful for explaining all the function.

[@layeththesmacketh]

Recently drove an XG for delivery to a customer in Southampton and there's definitely improvements overall, love the DAF vision system (the angle of the driver side "mirror" display could be changed, like Stavros said). I found the seat a bit stiff (but that may just be because it's new) but it's actually quite a smooth and comfy ride. Weirdly, I was getting the same kind of comfort vibe as I did when I drove a Peterbilt 579 in Portland, USA last year. Maybe it's a PACCAR thing.

[@truckdriver1982]

The "extra" mirror/cam on the top actualy looks really cool! Great view!

[@2500mike]

Amazing trucks. I do like the traditional mirrors. Looking well cheers!!

[@ianoyange1095]

Hey watching from Kenya Love how you give out the details Only wish I could drive one Good job👌

[@petershaw9155]

Great vlog Stavros. You are quite the best at truck reviews. I would certainly be happy to have any of these if I was still driving. You definitely need a slight hump in the middle then you can sweep out the footwells regularly thus keeping the cab clean ..imo.

[@tyarnordine2012]

Thank you for the very good présentation of the new trucks Daf Xf and Xg . Nordine trucker of France 🙂

[@jdraves1138]

Great vid Stavros, im not really a fan of the new design of Dafs but its good to see a review of them, stay safe

[@pauljohn6637]

Great video Stavros. I am sitting here watching from Central Florida with two fellow ex pats. We all work for the same company. My mates nephew Anthony is Matthew’s friend and works part time for him. It’s a small world.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸

[@mikegabriel9709]

You are a smart man Stavros all you said over this video are real thanks Stavros

[@johanbos160]

Nice video stavros 👍and i like the new DAF and good camara work .

[@00786]

Very nice. Lots of love from south Africa 🌹🌹♥️

[@victorob71]

Lovely truck great review Stravros 👍

[@georgeratcliffe7752]

Ah ha! Yes yes yes, I was waiting for this one!!!

[@KiminzaTv.]

Always informative

[@djmcmalachymclaughlin2057]

Very nice truck's DAF good truck 🚛 hope you enjoyed your visit to Great Britain

[@vladt.4507]

Great review, as expected 👍🏻

[@Nozza.90]

Round the corner from my workplaces yard. They don't understand how much I want one of these 😂

[@j3j326]

New Daf looks Ace!

[@robertyny092]

Definitely an improvement over the previous model that I'm driving at my current employer.

[@cpm8889]

Enjoy the work, Stavros. How expensive are the units? I have no idea as I have never been inside a truck. I have the highest regard for the transport community for the role they play in our society. They are unsung heroes. Would love a jaunt in a unit sometime Stavros! Make a video about it.

[@RaspberryCai]

Would really like to see an update of the LF - I drive an LF every day (because my company cheaped out) and drove a CF today, the difference is night and day.

[@Robstew9000]

Great video stavros seen couple of these new dafs on the road.I drive the Mercedes actros at work and the flickering of car LED sometimes looks like flashing police lights I also find it difficult to judge the view in traffic.I wonder if daf the xf/xg mirror has resolved these problems..

[@fluggaenkoecchicebolsen]

Now if only a company cared about its employees enough to give us one of these

[@user-9996]

Flat floor would have capped it off nicely but you can't have everything. Massive improvement over the old one.

[@adriantaylor7469]

Another great review Stavros, the best I've seen on the new Daf's so far. I think with standard side mirrors and the digital vision system for the front corner, you've got the best of both worlds. Also, have Daf now dropped the CF range for artics?

[@Winchester1979]

Doesn't look like it on their website, their configurator app still offers all kinds of tractor chassis for the CF - 4x2, 6x2 midlift, 6x2 taglift, 6x2 midsteer, 6x2 tagsteer, and 6x4.

[@Invocated_Agitator]

Why standard mirrors over digital ones?

[@Winchester1979]

@@Invocated_Agitator Remember how in the video Stavros was complaining that he kept trying to move his head to get a better view angle in the mirror and it wasn't working because it was just a display rather than a real mirror? That's why. Digital mirrors do have their uses, no question - things like having increased brightness so that you can see better in the dark, the lack of wind resistance and the minimized blindspots; but traditional mirrors also have some good points like being able to move your head to get a different angle. I'm pretty sure that future generations of trucks will solve that using head tracking or something, to mimic the behavior of a mirror. Or, putting a zoom function that's accessible from the steering wheel or something.

[@adriantaylor7469]

@@Invocated_Agitator Talking to drivers about Mirror Cam (Mercedes), they complained about it being hard to judge the distance when cars are overtaking you, so you know when to pull out safely. Also they say that cars with LED headlights flash as they pass you at night time and it being hard to accurately reverse the truck at night. But my biggest thing is that you loose the ability to move your head to alter the angle you can see from the mirrors. Having said that, the view for the front blindspot camera was far superior to the blindspot mirror on my XF 106.

[@Invocated_Agitator]

@@Winchester1979 Yea i was going through comments before Stavros complained bout the mirror. You can easily go over that issue with head tracking option that can be switched on and off when you need it. Doable even today without issues.

[@Deiseboi]

Totally agree about mirrors...glass for me ..I drove the Mercedes and got a mark on camera which got worse over time then couldn't see anything on the passenger side...love the bunk.

[@Darma513]

Very good trucks there, my boss, greetings from Indonesia....

[@sebol222222]

Harvey has nice Omega watch. Respect

[@kp-qr6hy]

There's also a power point on the front of the dash to plug in a dash cam or satnav

[@gafrers]

Another great video. Great new profile pic as well

[@kp-qr6hy]

Had it for 4 day overall I was a bit disappointed, u would need all the extras to sweeten the deal, the hospital type bed was great, only problem I found with it was a kept rolling out of it ,I needed the front suspension up and rear down to stay in it ,I think the mattress needs a stiffer edge on it

[@smurf5320]

Very nice

[@onthebuses]

Stirling Watching 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿📡🇮🇪

[@guilhermerocha4117]

The cameras for mirrors is very good, in rain get better visibility

[@stevenrfg0456]

nevwr been this early to a vid fe you stavros nice vid only seen one of these dafs irl but idk if it was acc one bc it was the side lol

[@philippej54]

Amazing trucks. Nice, confortable and efficient !

[@kp-qr6hy]

The air suspension does move about ,try the Mitchellstown to mallow road ,I near hit a oncoming car it moves 2ft across the road

[@busgaming3613]

Look better than actros mp5

[@brianwebb191]

Anything would look better than an Actros LOL Better ride in a A series ERF,

[@shanehornby1693]

Looks like the same sun blind at the front! Gonna still get blinded by the sun in the corner 😤

[@billysweeney5954]

Looking good class 👍👍👍

[@Invocated_Agitator]

The reflection on the infoscreen looks that bad cuz the foil is still on it ;)

[@fonxpi9748]

Hi, Very good interior.

[@mg0766]

Love from 🇮🇳

[@kp-qr6hy]

If u close the blinds on the sun roof it stops the reflection on the screen , suits me I like a dark interior

[@carelcarstens5627]

That grill looks like the one on the freightliner cascadia

[@ScrotusXL]

Another top video Stavros…..cheeeeeeersssss👍👍👍👍😃

[@robertpoole6967]

I Like Mine With The Mirrors Outsside Like The Daf XF Better

[@BunkersBPV]

Very nice truck

[@mathewsmutalechisanga7139]

awesome

[@ebenezerarkoh7347]

The truck is very nice and I really love❤️ it but I want ask that was the orange lamp fixed after market or straight from factory and how much is the truck. 👍

[@Alex-wj9ho]

Nice truck...but I agree...that crappy piano black is a nightmare Makes me wonder though ...if daf are doing this well what are scania and volvo going to come up with next? Exciting times

[@andrewirving1963]

My god ! We'll have fly warning systems on on trucks next 😉

[@clpprbrd]

Don't know if this is already stated, but I noticed there's a protective film on that left screen, maybe that's causing a lot of the glare?

[@kertidrive365]

Thank you for the good video. I'll try to shoot a beautiful Korea well.

[@jimjim6288]

Does digital mirrors might take a bit of getting us use to, gearbox fully auto? DAF has come a long way since the 3300.

[@matthewburrows2768]

I was given a new XF, nice truck, broke down after 3 days though 🤣😂. Had its first tow with 900km on

[@kp-qr6hy]

Need more information Matthew,did the fuel Guage stop working , or someone back into it ,we really need more information from you ,was it targeted by a Russia missile or something ,🤔🇺🇦🇬🇧

[@athul1193]

Please provide more details !

[@bigbambam25]

Do you still have to pull the exhaust brake on everytime or have they put it on an off/on switch like every other truck ever?

[@kp-qr6hy]

The engine brake stays on when u use the accelerator, so if u r in a hurry at a junction make sure u get that engine brake lever off or u won't beat the on coming vehicle ,the normal standard is the throttle pedal overrides the engine brake ,daf don't do normal

[@mrr1596]

We Love Trucker's!! 💋❤️‍🔥

[@alvinkiongo1652]

i love your vedios

[@johnjennings9693]

Takes awhile to get used to the look of the new trucks without mirror arms saw a Mercedes one day thought both mirrors had been blown off

[@himalayahillrider4704]

Please make a video on how to seat properly (seating position) for short trip and long trip as well.. so we can save from pain

[@Tashyncho-Sapa]

in this new model, there are some pros and cons, not only pros

[@harrynewbrook5103]

I wonder what an XG+ would be like with that Cummins 660 in it, about time DAF had an high powered flagship version.

[@terryedward8515]

Great review,would really like a review on a CF,are there going to be new CF’s?

[@erikdikkers7931]

No. New Daf will be XD. Cf is history.

[@waffenbear117]

I think that is the same steering wheel in the newer Kenworths and Peterbilts.

[@WilliamStevens007]

Nice truck but you can stick the mirror cams where the sun don't shine.

[@brianwebb191]

I quite agree with you on that one Billy

[@macky4074]

Not sure about this next gen but the left turn assist on the older version is useless. As soon as you indicate left you have a siren that just constantly bleeps at you for no apparent reason.

[@e.m.landeros1723]

Who makes the best looking truck? Are there any manual trucks ?

[@kp-qr6hy]

Very poor lights around the bed ,u can see nothing ,the 1 light at the control panel blinds you

[@trevorburns3634]

Great video.costs of dafs please?

[@nessathemothertrucker]

Has anyone worked out how to switch off the lane departure warning in the XG?

[@garygrant3513]

The new daf / volvo cab🤭

[@kp-qr6hy]

The cup holder could do with a cut out for a cuphandle

[@andrewbird1977]

That's were my new truck came from

[@kp-qr6hy]

The steps are made of a strange material u can't clean them,also u can't clean under the step because the gap is about 5mm

[@exsoulagent]

Our company getting the new xf next April, long overdue

[@truckerdim]

I wonder if they have to people's advice and put more paint on the chassis and wheels?

[@stephen7032]

Hi, how do you open the front on the new daf XF 480

[@ShadyCatGamer]

When you do the new Scania S650 Super series video?

[@sleepingwarrior4618]

Can those screen mirrors be dimmed for night time driving? The glare will get annoying FAST if not....

[@tREVVA1]

I imagine so, same as mirrorcam Actros

[@stevenkerry3101]

the mirrors are a very expensive system when they get damaged or go wrong i bet .

[@brianwebb191]

Yes a nice little earner for DAF aid though, lol

[@pesymistik]

I hope my company will finally buy new daf trucks ;)

[@jimmyzoom1143]

If its your company, just do it!

[@davidleesfunandamazingvide2759]

Are the mirror monitors on all the time, if not, you wouldn't be able to use them when parked up

[@tREVVA1]

Same as mirrorcam Actros... there are buttons in cab (driver seat and bunk) to turn them on quickly independent of ignition

[@Damage_CTRL]

Hey stavros whats the difference between 4x2 wheels and 8x2 wheels in a truck. Thanks

[@tREVVA1]

It's a way of describing number of total and driven wheels&axles.

[@robertpoole6967]

CanYou Let Daf Know Evey New Daf Should Have A Microwaved Finished Touch

[@alexclement7221]

Oh, man, this truck would've been perfect back when I was doing a lot of NYC, Boston and Montreal loads! Too bad that cabovers here in the US are considered inferior, and are never as well-spec'd as conventionals are...

[@georgeratcliffe7752]

Can you still roll the window down properly with the extra pavement window?

[@knoppenkearl]

Yes.

[@matthewburrows2768]

It doesn’t come all the way down though, the passemger one in mine only comes a quarter the way down

[@azmiroslan8124]

How a about full tour & test drive scania R 480
