DAF Trucks XF – the collective page of the Dutch marque's flagship, from the XF 370 to the XF 530, tractor units and chassis with PACCAR engines, 270 to 390 kW, 10.8 to 12.9 litre displacement
This page gathers the versions of the DAF XF, the flagship of DAF Trucks of Eindhoven built since 1997, which replaced the earlier 95 range and remains the marque's heaviest range for long-haul transport to this day. The type designation follows a fixed pattern: the three-digit number gives the engine output in hp (XF 370, XF 410, XF 430, XF 450, XF 480, XF 530), the F stands for the range itself; the letter code after it marks the chassis variant – FT the tractor unit, FA the chassis for box bodies, the codes FAN, FAR, FAS, FAW and the corresponding FT variants stand for different wheelbases, sleeper cabs and special equipment such as ADR approval. The engines come from PACCAR, specifically its DAF XE and MX ranges, six-cylinders of 10.8 to 12.9 litres.

The register lists here 58 versions with 270 to 390 kW from six-cylinders of 10,800 to 12,900 cm³ and unladen weights from 7,221 to 11,328 kg; almost all versions run on diesel.
The XF is DAF Trucks' flagship in European long-haul transport and competes directly with the flagships of Mercedes-Benz (Actros), Volvo (FH), Scania (R and S) and MAN (TGX); DAF has belonged to Paccar since 1996 and builds the XF in Eindhoven as well as in Leyland, England, and Nastola, Finland.
On used trucks, operating hours and the engine's service history, condition of clutch and gearbox (manual or AS Tronic automatic), brakes and suspension, cab sealing and the exhaust-aftertreatment electronics count; parts run through DAF's dense dealer network.
