DAF FAG – the collective page of heavy DAF trucks with the FAG type prefix before the CF generation, six-cylinder engines of 8.7 to 12.9 litres, gross weights up to 34.5 tonnes
This page gathers DAF trucks of the FAG type range, the company's own range code with which DAF marked its heavy two-axle trucks and tractor units before the CF generation introduced in 1996. The model list shows the transition between the systems directly: the four-digit types FAG 2100 to FAG 2505 are followed by the shorter FAG 75 and FAG CF 75, showing that DAF ran the FAG 75 type for a time in parallel with the new CF range as FAG CF75 and FAG CF85. The suffixes DH, DHT, DHTD and DHU denote cab and chassis variants, and the following three-digit number (445, 505, 555, 610) the engine output in hp.

The register lists here 34 versions with displacements from 8,657 to 12,902 cm³, six-cylinder engines throughout, unladen weights from 9,720 to 21,300 kg, gross weights from 18,800 to 34,500 kg, lengths from 7,380 to 10,800 mm and widths from 2,270 to 2,560 mm.
In the 1980s and 1990s DAF was one of the leading European long-haul truck makers, and the FAG range formed the backbone of the programme together with the lighter FA range, before the CF and XF ranges replaced the nomenclature from 1996.
On used examples, rust on the frame and cab mounting, the condition of the six-cylinder diesel engine and transmission, the braking system and air suspension, and on tractor units the fifth wheel count; parts run through the DAF network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- 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.
