DAF FAD – collective page of heavy DAF trucks from the CF and XF ranges and older 85 and WS types: 212 to 375 kW, six-cylinder engines up to 12,902 cm³, gross weights up to 50 tonnes
This page gathers DAF trucks that the register could not assign to a named range – from the older 85 and WS series to the current CF and XF ranges. DAF was founded in 1928 as Van Doorne's Aanhangwagen Fabriek in Eindhoven, began building its own trucks in 1949 and has belonged to PACCAR since 1996; production still takes place in Eindhoven. The CF range covers distribution and medium-heavy long-haul work, the XF range is the flagship for long-haul transport; the digits after the dot in types such as CF85.410 or XF105.460 give the approximate engine output in hp, the digits before it the series and engine displacement class.

The register lists 40 versions here with 212 to 375 kW, all with six-cylinder engines of 10,837 to 12,902 cm³, kerb weights of 10,031 to 41,750 kg, gross vehicle weights of 32,200 to 50,000 kg, lengths of 8,030 to 11,790 mm and widths of 2,480 to 2,600 mm.
Alongside Mercedes-Benz, Scania, Volvo, MAN and Iveco, DAF ranks among the major European heavy-truck makers and has traditionally been especially strong in the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom. As part of PACCAR it shares engine and platform technology with Kenworth and Peterbilt in North America, yet remains a distinct European brand in appearance and sales for long-haul, distribution and construction-site vehicles.
When buying used, the PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 engines should be checked for oil consumption, turbocharger condition and the AdBlue/SCR system, along with the condition and shift behaviour of the automated ZF AS-Tronic gearbox. The frame and cab mounts should be inspected for corrosion and cracks, as should the brakes, axles and air suspension relative to mileage. DAF supplies spare parts through a dense dealer network across Europe, which eases servicing and repair even for older 85 and CF models.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.

- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
