2018 DAF XF 460hp - Full Tour & Test Drive - Stavros969

[@JeS-ii6yp]

Although I am not a truck enthusiast, I find your reviews of various trucks interesting, informative, enjoyable and very worthwhile. I think you could do videos on anything and you would have a big following because of your professionalism, honesty, content, production quality and of course your brilliant commentary! You do it all very well Stavros, CHEERS!

[@stavros969]

Thank you, much appreciated

[@oskarjanuszewski2094]

Yes indeed i think quite so to its very interesting

[@billybellend1155]

That cab is originally a Cabtech design from 1987 used by DAF, Seddon Atkinson and Pegaso.

[@allanmacbadger5692]

I have some friends who work for a local company and they love their DAF lorries, the company previously ran Scania, MAN and Iveco, but they prefer the DAF for the same reasons you mentioned, quite, comfortable, fuel efficient and good value for money.

[@gofish1468]

I came off Mercedes for Scania.... Then off Scania for DAF over 20 yrs ago now..... For comfort and space I would not leave a Super or a Space Cab..... I absolutely loved my 95 XF Space Cab.!!! Saying that i'm now in a 85 DAF CF 410....Company doesn't go for big cabs anymore..... awww what a pity I hear.!!!!!!! Great vid fella once again and good honest review as always.!!!!! Mossy,!

[@meathagricarandtruckphotog7301]

I love daf trucks so thank you stavros

[@johna6968]

Always did like the Dafs. Great space to live, better with the taller cab

[@mikael950]

A big thank you from Sweden, i love your truck videos! Keep them coming! :)

[@metalbeast1998]

Didn't know Paccar owned DAF. Probably a lot of similarities to the Kenworths and Peterbilts we have here in America.

[@gleng5441]

Another excellent video Stavros. I split time between a XF105 510 and a rental MAN TGS 26.540. Here in Australia we get a very different Product to Europe; we have Kenworth rear air suspension, Meritor diffs and drum rear brakes, still on Euro 5. It is very rough whilst bobtail but improves remarkably with a decent load on. I agree it is a very quiet truck, the quietest I’ve ever driven. It’s quite a pleasant place to spend a working day. Thanks for the videos, keep up the good work.

[@FSXNOOB]

Dutch sure know how to make trucks :)

[@luinesharpuines192]

It is the only peace of technic witch is sadly left in the Netherlands. Nice to see you apreciate DAF

[@antonybell7136]

@Stavros DAF main focus was comfort for the driver of DAF truck plus all the safety features and plus you can get a 480hp

[@assacoon]

You don't seem like you're a great lover of it. I love the idea of being able to check your lights from that button on the key fob.

[@swaffhambob954]

Another great review. I do like your enthusiastic commentary. So pleased to see you have a new pair of shoes. Bit more up to date. More truck reviews please. Any make, any model

[@roelvandervelde8022]

Amazing pronounciation of DAF, Van Doorne's Aanhangwagenfabriek N.V. I live in Eindhoven, where these amazing trucks are being built, love that you try to pronounce such a difficult name! Also, amazing reviews, keep it up!

[@GavinY]

Looks solidly built

[@akaweetommy9751]

Very detailed once again awesome videos stav

[@Jitenderkumar-yd3zf]

Excellent review Stavros

[@arenas5196]

Nice video as always and nice truck,thanks Stavros👍🏻

[@Feeshgmod]

Yes finally! :) What a nice way to start my day lol

[@curtisharris330]

From Canada, love watching these videos!

[@habibisidoarjo8635]

Wow... this is my first time I see Daf Truck mr stavros. Cause I never seen that truck before. So I like that... 👍👍👍

[@mattheww6167]

Brilliant video from the happy chap always happy! I like the Daf even the 7.5 T trucks are comfortable.

[@sambosomethin7844]

Cant go wrong with a daf, one of the comfiest trucks on the road, and i love the mirror style. Really easy to gauge depth in the front mirror and curb mirror so tight manoeuvres are that little bit easier.

[@johnroche8511]

A happy Bambi the Queen of England calls that a scrap daffy

[@natahn9568]

Nice truck! and brilliant video!

[@noorali6859]

smashing the 👍like button even before i watch because stavros you Awesome.

[@jeangervais6849]

Yes thank you stavros finally

[@Max-xt5fo]

We drive only DAF XF 106 530. And its a unbelivable experience

[@vgbeastbomb8327]

I am a fan of DAF and I love the euro 6 series and the pure excellence series which came to the UK and ireland this year

[@antonybell7136]

BEASTY BOY 539 I've been DAF fan all my life and I love the 95 DAFs with the Cummins Engines

[@oscarpenalver2618]

great video Stavros greetings from Spain

[@bencrosbie]

brilliant video review. still not keen on daf but thumbs up for the great video of one.

[@dieseldemon8562]

It’s interesting to see the European trucks compared to what we have here in North America. I’ve always liked cab over trucks, and the styling of the DAF is a 10 in my opinion. I have wondered why these trucks aren’t imported to North America? The safety features, driver comforts, and refinement seem decades ahead of some of our trucks. Although I’m not a fan of all the features, I did really like the keyless entry and bulb self test feature. Very well-thought engineering. Just out of curiosity, do you know what final drive (axle) gear ratios are offered / common with these trucks? It looked like the transmission gears were approximately 450 rpm apart, so that is very similar to an Eaton 9 speed we are used to.

[@TheAatupaatu]

I own a DAF XF Mega Space Cab 4x2 440 Astronic 2016 Euro6 and I love it. A bit slowish gearbox but supergood comfort and space. Good fuel economy. 👍🏻

[@floriiansh]

Very Nicely Done. Keep it up

[@stephentrundle8282]

Great video as usual mate prefer the Daf got to be the most comfortable truck especially the bed

[@fabinvarghese7781]

Thank you stavros for making DAF truck video.cheeersss....

[@momoyuna5615]

Thank you. I love your trucking video.

[@johna6968]

I wonder if that wind noise could be down to the cameras placed in the cab corner deflectors?

[@rogerssekoko7120]

Thanks for very great truck reviews, my question for you is “ How do you tell the sockets of doozies?”

[@aditya_londhe]

Great Video Stavros! Now only Iveco and Tesla semi remaining 😜

[@rondalsimonds6570]

Nice truck, although the old school dafs from the 80's look a lot better than these ones.

[@candraagung7731]

I like the sound DAF

[@lenmediastudio]

24:20 I think almost all the articulated lorries from the 7 manufacturers in Europe have been awarded International Truck of the Year in some year

[@wallacewriter2198]

excellent review

[@SarifulIslam-fj2dy]

Nice job

[@myeraji]

Thanks Stavross

[@Dreadnoughty]

What kind of transmission is used in these trucks? did you ever drove a long trip with an manual gearbox?

[@1-1-2robloxentreinenmetjordan]

24:51 Nice horn

[@pijuspetraitis1054]

my dad says that DAF stants for Gave an arse a truck which in lithuanian is: Dave Asilui Fura

[@tonyanderson7854]

Good review- I like a DAF I’d have one before anything other than Volvo No need to change a great cab design better to live in than ANY. Other tractor unit. Superspace is better though Good video

[@avaroxramzy9067]

My step dad drives a DAF XF and I sometimes go in it for the night when he works for Linney refrigerated Transport in u.k Oldahm

[@vinnyboombatz3650]

I’m surprised that the transmission is automatic. Is that becoming more popular in Europe?

[@americanfreedomlogistics9984]

No dipstick ? I hope the sensors for the gauge in the oil pan are bang on cue.

[@ninjaranger5798]

Keep going man keep going

[@blackeagle7765]

Awesome video so satisfying and very informative

[@darioteodosiev5917]

can you make a video for the iveco Stralis AS2 euro 5?

[@shaunakmistry]

Loved it @stavros969

[@wimnieuwdorp5337]

It isnt a daf 2018 model thats also why it doesnt shift fast

[@Tashyncho-Sapa]

which one is shifting gears faster, volvo dual clutch or new generation scania

[@thedude8981]

Great question!

[@rinaltailor7031]

Black Hand New generation scania is better and faster shifting gear...

[@kysrussiansandindians0]

True

[@ninjaranger5798]

Of course scania ng upgraded gearboxes.when we compare volvo fh with scania streamliner,we will understand that volvo fh is sooooo faster

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Isn't DAF a division of Paccar ??? I see the headlights are similar design to the 579 peterbilt here in the states. Just wondering if we'll see some of the technology from this truck in American trucks in the future???

[@FireBall-j8d]

Steering wheel is also same

[@Kipras223]

finally DAF

[@norbert07]

great videos! what is the inside height off the cabin? thnx

[@SAKERRAOUF007]

Thanks

[@nils690smcr]

Please take a look at ivecos 😁

[@alisonallan2591]

[@tupolev154foundin5]

btw van doorne Aanhangwagen Fabriek (Aka DAF) Is translated to van doorne(a dutch surname) Trailer Factory in dutch, for anyone wondering. good video , my dad drives a cf and sometimes the xf. i like them alot but for local transporting the xf isnt very good, hurts your back after stepping in and out 30 times.... but its a good truck. thank you for the video, btw i have a problem with my cf that if its a windy day the fusebox starts fluting, or making a flute kind of sound while on the highway... idk what it is, does anyone know?

[@moogultop]

Diuijn? No way! The official name is: Van Doorne Aanhangwagen Fabriek.

[@tupolev154foundin5]

rob jansen for real??... of wikipedia has let me down on that one... srry thx for the correction

[@tupolev154foundin5]

rob jansen i thought it was van duijn, my bad

[@moogultop]

@@tupolev154foundin5 no problem! I'm driving one and also living in the Netherlands😀

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much! ;-)

[@gsamanyika75]

Truckers getting it easy these days I used to drive a avm daf 1160 with a 9 speed fuller box 100mph easy down hill with 40ton of steel Durban to Zambia no air con and a metal engine cover

[@darioteodosiev5917]

always the best, bravo goes on like this and please do truck videos more often💪

[@ninjaranger5798]

Could you record a video about renualt T???

[@stavros969]

Hope to get one sometime

[@ninjaranger5798]

Stavros969 and previous generation volvo FH

[@truckerwoody5356]

Thorough as always Stavros, any chance you could get a look at the Volvo FH 4?

[@davidleesfunandamazingvide2759]

Can you do a Ford F Max review, I don't know if they are in Ireland or the UK but they look good

[@lightningkahn1981]

Cool review on this DAF,but can you make a review on the Iveco Stralis Hi-way or Iveco Stralis Euro 6?or how do you want to say.

[@victor_gradinaru]

On what considerations did this thing win Truck of the Year 2018?

[@azza-re9qp]

Haha i was watching you jack the cab just after i wrote that thanks for the info love the vidoe's

[@swayamjitrout8495]

Could you please make a video on Volvo VNL

[@stavros969]

I would love to if i could get one

[@johan.ohgren]

The VNL is for the american market only, real shame..

[@Mongoose118]

Lovely, quiet comfortable cab. Gutless as a gutless thing though. Rust quickly

[@yakubuokoky4092]

Can you do one vdo for Chinese trucks eg howo, beiben, or faw trucks

[@farmingboysYT]

that cab is upgraded or not that old

[@mrm4362]

it's not a Stavros review without mentioning the full air deflector kit

[@mohsinuddin8237]

Dad xf vrey good company truck😀

[@victorzamokuhle9969]

I like the way you explain thanks Stavros from Victor S A

[@vidsplays]

Thank u for doing truck vids

[@shauny13uk]

Tesla or a DAF? Hummm it's DAF for the win in my book. Thanks Stavros, once more for a great truck informative video and nice to see a new one too, err not so battle worn. Nope you beat me on this model Stavros, 95 XF,105 XF then down to 85 CF on my night trunks. The little cameras in the wind-lets might add to the lower door wind noise (might).

[@ruigoncalves6512]

Shaun Moore DAF is the best

[@conorcomiskey2087]

there a good truck I had a cf 85.440 2002

[@MrPAlberst2]

A nice review of this DAF. My company in Holland uses it also, together with some Mercedes and Scania's. Some of these Scania's are LNG powered. I drive a Mercedes as a daily driver.. It is also equiped with the latest safety gadgets. How do you feel about using the steering nob? It has been told to me that it could damage the steering aid(?) because it is used when standing still, or at low speed. Thnx for your response..

[@hitardo]

Very nice video! First time watching your videos, but I will sure come back :) Why did you used the 80km/h in the motorway? In Portugal - and many other EU countries - the truck speed limit is 90km/h.

[@waffenbear117]

Where do you put the TV?

[@christianholland2373]

Are you a truckdriver Stavros? Nice video :)

[@elliotb7980]

Did he show the air horns

[@inflate8010]

Yes finely!

[@TomskiZima]

That gear box is really dated now. Theyve changed it for a traxion unit in the new updated one. Great review mate

[@nicolasimon3044]

You say its a 2018 but the new models have the facelift with the different sunscreen and grill, is it different in the uk or is it just not a 2018?

[@stavros969]

nicola Prythencko This DAF is registered in 2018

[@nicolasimon3044]

Stavros969 alright... so do the 2018 DAF's in the uk and ireland just dont have the facelift? Sorry for being so stubborn

[@americanfreedomlogistics9984]

Just like listening to my own truck (Peterbilt) starting

[@WatanabeSanjuro]

Please do Iveco Stralis Hi-Way 560 hp

[@azza-re9qp]

This might sound daft but why would you only have a electric guage for oil what if it fails?

[@stavros969]

Aaron Ruff If it failed you would have to jack the cab and use the dipstick

[@lenmediastudio]

14:51 *automated* not automatic

[@abdibabu177]

DAF XF nice 460

[@thomasfokkes]

If you see this you sould do POV driving videos of the trucks

[@ezimdanielchukwunwike531]

I wish they will install two passenger seat. I like daf..
