DAF FTN – heavy 6x2 tractor units and trucks of the CF and XF lines with an extra axle: 12.9-litre six-cylinder engine, gross weights from 27.6 to 31.5 tonnes
This page gathers heavy DAF tractor units and trucks of the CF and XF lines in 6x2 axle configuration, along with the corresponding chassis variants, from the classic CF 85 through the XF105 to the XF510. They represent heavy long-haul transport, where the third, usually steered or liftable axle secures the permitted axle load at high gross weight.

The register lists here 8 versions with around 12,902 cm³ from six-cylinder engines, unladen weights from 12,605 to 22,693 kg, gross weights from 27,600 to 31,500 kg, lengths from 6,900 to 8,280 mm and widths from 2,540 to 2,550 mm.
Vehicles of this class work in heavy distribution and construction transport and as tractor units for oversized loads, where the extra axle improves payload and driving stability at a high gross weight. On motorways and in cross-border haulage, such 6x2 tractor units are, thanks to their high gross weights, a fixture of large forwarding fleets.
On used examples, check the condition of the extra axle, including its steering, air suspension and lift mechanism, the clutch and gearbox, the turbocharger and exhaust aftertreatment, the frame for cracks and corrosion given the high axle loads, and the brakes; parts run through the DAF dealer network. Workshops also recommend checking the cab suspension mounts, which see high loads on long-haul routes.

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.
