DAF has belonged to Paccar since 1996 and ranks among the leading European makers of heavy tractor units; the 85, 95, CF and XF ranges shaped European long-haul transport for decades and compete chiefly with Volvo, Scania, Mercedes-Benz and MAN, with the CF and XF cabs setting a comfort benchmark in their classes.
On used trucks, operating hours and service history of the engine, clutch and gearbox condition, rust on the chassis and fifth wheel, air suspension and brakes, and on the XF models additionally the exhaust aftertreatment and cab electronics count; parts run through the DAF dealer network.
