DAF FTP – cab-over tractor units of the 95XF and XF ranges: 12.6 to 12.9-litre six-cylinder engines, gross vehicle weight 23,400 to 27,000 kg
Like FTM, FTP is a chassis code within DAF's register logic, in which F stands for Frontlenker and T for Zugmaschine. Under this code the register lists both the 95XF range, which DAF introduced in 1997 as the first XF generation with a cab over the engine, with the XF95.480 version as a 480 PS variant, as well as the CF85 and the later XF105 generation. DAF itself is a Dutch truck manufacturer based in Eindhoven, part of the American PACCAR group since 1996, which also owns the Kenworth and Peterbilt brands.

The register lists 5 versions here with displacements from 12,580 to 12,903 cm³, six cylinders, kerb weights from 7,580 to 8,927 kg, gross vehicle weights from 23,400 to 27,000 kg, lengths from 6,400 to 6,540 mm and a width of 2,550 mm.
With gross weights up to 27,000 kg, the tractor units gathered here cover the lighter end of the tractor-unit segment and suit distribution work and shorter long-haul routes, while the heavier FTM and FAK versions are designed for the full 40-tonne articulated combination.
On used examples, operating hours and the service history of the six-cylinder diesel, the condition of the fifth wheel and frame, and on the older 95XF generation corrosion on the cab and chassis all matter; spare parts are available through DAF's Europe-wide service network.
