DAF YA – the collective page of the early four-wheel-drive DAF trucks with military origins: six-cylinders of 4.6 to 6.2 litres, unladen weight 5,590 to 12,020 kg, gross weight up to 21,000 kg
This page gathers the DAF YA, an early range of four-wheel-drive trucks from the Dutch maker, built among other things as an artillery tractor; ARTILLERIE TREKKER in the model names denotes exactly that use. The axle formulas 4X4 and 6X6 state the number of driven wheels against the total, KIPPER the tipper bodies. The YA models were powered by DAF's own six-cylinder engines.

The register lists here 14 versions from six-cylinders of 4,620 to 6,240 cm³, unladen weights from 5,590 to 12,020 kg, gross weights from 6,275 to 21,000 kg, lengths from 5,720 to 8,350 mm and widths from 2,300 to 2,520 mm.
Alongside civilian customers, the YA range supplied the Dutch military with off-road four-wheel-drive trucks and tractors, reflecting DAF's early role as a supplier of rugged commercial vehicles to authorities and armed forces before civilian long-haul transport became the core business. Their rugged construction has since made surviving examples sought-after vehicles among military-vehicle and vintage collectors.
On used examples, rust on the frame, axle housings and cab, the condition of the transfer case and propshafts, the tightness of the differentials on the four-wheel-drive models, and the condition of the engine and clutch all count; parts for these early model years are sourced mainly through military-vehicle and vintage-truck collectors.
