DAF FT – the tractor-unit designation: F range from the 2100 to the 95 XF with the T suffix for Trekker, DKS/DKTD and later DAF engines, 265 to 340 kW, for long-haul work with a semi-trailer
At DAF, the letter F denotes the classic angular cab family of the 1970s to 1990s, and the T suffix stands for Trekker – that is, the tractor unit for operation with a semi-trailer, as distinct from the A versions as a flatbed or box chassis. The model plates in the register range from the early FT 1600 and FT 2000 through the FT 2600/2800/3300 with DKA/DKS/DKX engines to the FT 95 and FT 95 XF of the 1990s with additional digits for cab and power; the letters D, H, K, S and U after the type number denote cab size and equipment.

The register lists 105 versions here with engines from 265 to 340 kW from 6,099 to 14,016 cm³ displacement with 6 cylinders, kerb weights from 4,612 to 12,815 kg, gross weights from 11,990 to 26,500 kg, lengths from 5,050 to 8,550 mm and widths from 2,200 to 2,550 mm.
As tractor units, the FT types formed the backbone of DAF's long-haul programme for two decades, before the CF and XF ranges with a new type logic took over.
On these older DAF tractor units, what counts is frame and cab rust, the condition of the clutch and manual gearbox, the fifth wheel coupling and its wear, the cooling system and injection pump of the inline engines, and spare parts supply, which on the oldest model years increasingly runs only through specialists and vintage-DAF enthusiast clubs.

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