DAF FAT – the collective page for heavy DAF trucks with the FAT chassis code, from the 2525 range through the 75 and WS ranges to the XF105: six-cylinder engines of 9.2 to 12.9 litres, gross weights up to 38 tonnes

This page gathers DAF trucks with the factory FAT chassis code. FA denotes a 4x2 chassis in DAF's own type code, with the attached letters R and T marking an additional axle configuration; a few models also carry the axle formula 6X4 explicitly in their name. The model list ranges from the four-digit types of the 2500 and 2600 ranges and the WS range through the 75 and 85 types to the more recent CF and XF105 generation, spanning several decades of DAF's type history in the heavy segment.

The register lists 25 versions here, all with six-cylinder engines of 9,186 to 12,902 cc displacement, unladen weights from 9,351 to 27,800 kg, gross weights from 23,500 to 38,000 kg, lengths from 6,630 to 10,710 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,600 mm; for part of the models, outputs of 315 to 375 kW.

Alongside Mercedes-Benz, Scania, Volvo, MAN and Iveco, DAF ranks among the major European heavy-truck makers; the FAT chassis, with its higher gross weights and partly three-axle configuration, covers heavy construction and long-haul transport, where high payload and axle-load distribution matter.

On a used example, the condition of the six-cylinder diesel engines, especially the turbocharger and injection system, the gearbox and clutch, rust on the frame and cab mounts, and the braking system and air suspension all count; on the older 2500 and WS types, spare-parts supply increasingly runs through specialists. For current CF and XF models, the DAF dealer network supplies parts.

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.
