Acid reflux is related to man made citric acid. Eat natural ingredients & that should disappear !!! So no more baked beans, tomato ketchup, etc but natural tomato’s is fine. I like the bed, but if the system breaks it won’t be good. Should be mechanical

The more I get used to the mirror cams the more I like them! I think the resolution on them needs to be a lot better but they are still very good for reversing especially the blind side. I really like the look of the new DAF range. Looks modern and straightforward to operate. I’d love to have a go in one.

The screens in mirrorless trucks are intentionally low quality, because a higher quality screen would mean the driver would be a Display Screen Equipment (DSE) user. The law says employers must plan work so there are breaks or changes of activity for employees who are DSE users. Can't have that.

Always love a new truck, but can rarely afford one! Plenty of room in old model so if they've bettered that it's got to be good. That drivers window not going all the way down is just like the lower spec Scania's with seemingly only the top spec having fully lowering glass, on the old model only the P cab windows would not go all the way. Beautiful looking truck that Daf and if it is as keenly priced as the old model you will definitely see a lot more out on the road. The current XF against similar spec Scania is 20-30 thousand pounds difference in the Daf's favour. As for mirror cams, never tried them but the big advantage is the removal of a massive blind spot on either side. All the best Scott.

I currently drive the new XF 480, over all I am happy with the truck but the camera mirrors don't follow the trailer when reversing which I have no idea why, could be a fault or just isn't a feature, I haven't looked into it because it's not too much of an issue as the bottom wide mirror is just about big enough to see, window is annoying but that's pretty much all that bothers me, it's very comfy to drive and sleep in. Just need to upgrade the speakers, get new units with my company but they're very low spec

The button with the A, looks like its an on/off ignition button, ie, when you stop at lights, your engine stops, and as soon as you use your clutch, the engine automatically turns on. If you use this A button, it will stop it, so your engine never stops. Also, not seen all of the video, so forgive me if I've not reached that part yet, but where's the tv socket?🤣.

After now driving one for a week, I prefer the older XF than I do these, They're not as comfortable in my opinion. In mine at least, there is no 24v socket (if this is an optional extra now I don't know, but why wouldn't you put a 24v socket in there, its practically standard in a truck). The windows as you mentioned not going down all the way. Can't comment on the mirror cams as I have proper wing mirrors on mine. And all the EBS , lane departures are now within the computer, no button for it anymore. And the standard horn is not also as good. Personal preference of mine i guess, but the cruise control should be on the right side of steering wheel. And automatic wipers make me want to puke. Always too sensitive. WOW this turned into a rant. lol

Dash looks nice. Daf puts the mirrors the wrong way around so when you pull the blind down it cuts of the big mirror, like Volvo IDIOTS. Don’t like mirror cams. Fridge freezer good idea. Don’t like the beeping when door open, lights left on etc. Quite like the steering wheel, but hate the Daf badge. They painted in Gold, but it’s fake gold, all to trick the mind into thinking it’s worth something, like the pound coin Daf still has the same gearbox, overall no fuel savings or additional power such as crawler gears. Bed idea is good until it BREAKS.
