DAF FAV 1800 – the collective page of heavy DAF trucks under the FAV type code, from the classic 1800 range to the CF65, 6.7 to 12.6 litres of displacement, six-cylinder, 6.6 to 11.9 tonnes unladen weight

DAF, the Dutch truck brand founded in 1928 in Eindhoven, has belonged to the US group PACCAR since 1996 and ranks among Europe's largest makers of heavy commercial vehicles. This collective page combines under the FAV 1800 type code both classic chassis of the letter series – with DH, DHR, DHS and DHTD as variants of the drive and body configuration and DT for the tractor unit – and the considerably younger CF65, DAF's mid-weight range built since the 1990s.

The register lists here 9 versions with 6.7 to 12.6 litres of displacement from six-cylinders, unladen weights from 6,580 to 11,880 kg, gross weights from 12,835 to 19,000 kg, lengths from 6,800 to 7,380 mm and widths from 2,440 to 2,520 mm.

DAF trucks of this weight class are common distribution and building-site vehicles in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe, with tipper, flatbed and box bodies placing them in the medium-to-heavy segment between sprinter class and tractor unit; the CF range remains to this day the backbone of DAF's distribution-transport line-up.

On used examples, rust on frame and body, the condition of clutch and gearbox, wear on brakes and suspension under full load count, and on the older DH and DT versions the injection-pump and turbocharger history; parts run through the DAF dealer network and the open commercial-vehicle parts trade.
