DAF CF – medium-to-heavy series since 1998 between the LF and XF: three-digit horsepower number plus body codes FA/FT/FAN, in-line six-cylinder engines 6.7 to 12.9 litres, 162 to 390 kW
The CF replaced the older DAF 65/75/85 series in 1998 as the medium-to-heavy range between the lighter LF and the long-haul flagship XF; larger facelifts followed in 2013 and 2017. The type designation consists of the CF series and a three-digit number for engine output in horsepower (220 to 530 in the register), followed by codes for the body type – FA and FT denote tractor-unit or chassis variants, and FAN, FAR, FAS and FAG equipment or cab variants under DAF's factory nomenclature.

The register lists 248 versions with 162 to 390 kW output, displacements of 6,693 to 12,907 cm³ across a consistent 6 cylinders (DAF's own PACCAR MX in-line engines), unladen weights of 6,851 to 36,560 kg, gross weights of 11,990 to 50,000 kg and lengths of 5,800 to 12,090 mm at 2,500 to 2,600 mm width.
Within DAF's range the CF covers everything from distribution work to long-haul and construction transport, competing with the Mercedes-Benz Actros/Antos, Scania P/G, Volvo FM and MAN TGM/TGS; DAF, part of PACCAR since 1996, has consistently used its own engines in the CF, Cummins-derived early on and later PACCAR units.
On used examples, check rust on the frame and air-suspension bellows, condition of the clutch and automated AS-Tronic gearbox, sealing of the cab mounting, the brake system including the retarder, and a documented service history through the DAF workshop network.
