Good morning guy's, thanks for joining me for this weeks video, had a great time at Leyland Trucks. I hope you like the 90th Anniversary Edition DAF XF 530. Many thanks to all at DAF Trucks UK and to Lancashire DAF
metalbeast1998 The trade off is with European trucks is you loose the sleeper space, but gain driving refinement and quality.at the end of the day, you drive these things, then sleep in them. Anything else is in between is splitting hairs. It how you feel after 8 to 10 hours behind the wheel that counts, the European trucks wins hands down in that department.
What about the lengthened Volvo's in the US or is that still the old FH3 cab? And if you're looking for DAF specifically; they lengthen them here in Holland as well. Pretty pricey, probably. ruclips.net/video/jePMsYvO0iQ/видео.html and you can get a torpedo as well. That's a strange looking thing imo: ruclips.net/video/SvqWpbTTDhE/видео.html
@@metalbeast1998 European drivers spend weeks at a time in them no problem - In fact that is what the big XF is designed for. More comfort than any yank truck any day.
Me too! Kenworth and Peterbilt are amazing trucks, but I’ve always loved cab over trucks! I wish some manufacturer would bring cab over trucks back to North America, especially since I’m limited to 65ft in over all length in my particular industry! I think Paccar would do very well if they would bring the XF to the American market, I think they would sell them as fast as they could build them!
Thank you Stavros, well worth the little wait in my book. Sounds like one there's only going to be one huge company owning all of the truck brands soon, like in the car market. Ah yes those were the days... 2300 ATI 6 legger wagon & drag, 2100 ATI no air kitted tractor, then up to the big boys 2800 ATI plain white looking the same as the 3300 in the video. Have also been able to cabbie the early XF's but last DAF i drove was way back 2009, which was a nice small CF75 on night trunking, now i am retired.
Great video. Being here in the us we dont get to play with your cool cab over trucks. I drive a 2018 freightliner cascadia evolution. 15 liter inline 6 cylinder. 500 hp 1500 ftlbs torque about 2100nm in metric. 12 speed automatic transmission. Would love to see you come over here to the us and play with our style of trucks. Thanks for showing us your world.
I would like to get one and make an RV camper out of it, such a beautiful rig, too bad they don't sell them in the USA. I think they should sell them here, but Scania tried back in the 90s and failed, but I believe with the Euro van selling so well here I think this is a great time for Daf and others to try and sell their wonderful trucks in the US. Great video
Great video mate they look a cool truck would be cool to see them in New Zealand soon.I would say they may be here soon keep up the great work and look forwand too your next video Cheer's..........
Hi stavros a challenge for you as most truck manufacturers make various types of vehicles how about doing coaches and buses see how you go on with that one.
Tip of the hat to Harvey, who's was not just the hapless camera minion, but also knew where to point the camera, while going down the specs list. You just have to have that little extra as a salesrep these days. But great video on two nice locations at the other side of the Channel.
@@hylkejansen7264 But the same can be said for gearbox and engine,off course parts wear out but im sure you get a replacement unit while yours is being repaired.
Pretty expensive compared to leaf springs. I’m talking from experience, I had to pay a couple of thousand extra for my S520. That’s why most fleet company’s choose for leaf springs compared to owner operators who choose luxury
Daf have always done a great large cab. But its about time they started making more powerful trucks. Every manufacturer has passed them in the horsepower league.
Hello from Greece :) i want to ask about thosse 3 axle semi trucks . why some of them have the diferentia at 3rd and some at secont axle ? whats the avandages of each setup ?
Quick Note: 'Leyland' brand name is also familiar in India as 'Ashok Leyland'. Currently they are owned by UK based Hinduja Group. Originally the company was a partnership between British Leyland and a firm based in South India. Leyland lorries own a good reputation here.
What I can't understand is why the need for a convex main mirror as well as the spotter mirror? My yard (In Australia) got a shipment of new FM Volvos recently that were set up like this and the drivers demanded they be replaced with the much safer flat glass main mirrors.
How is a DAF XF so tall yet still doesn't have a flat floor? Boggling. Although having a raised area helps keep dust in the foot well and out of the wider cab. I saw a Renault D tractor unit the other day. Does Renault make them or is that an aftermarket modification? I do local work in an urban trailer now but still use a Mercedes Actros 545. I am trying to convince my company to get me something smaller and not Mercedes. Wish me luck. Great videos as always. Best truck channel on RUclips!

The 3300 ATi is a true classic. Looks beautiful.
Wish we had these trucks here in America
Maybe for regional hual but no one would want to spend weeks in these cabovers

DAF Dutch Pride

Agreed. He films what _I_ want to see at the speed that _I_ want to see it.

Nothing beats an old school rig.

This is my new favorite trock
Front air suspension is one of the best options for the DAF XF
Daf.xf.he.is.wonderful.dutch.truck
John Low I agree with you
the 3300 ati….a true beauty!!!! the 90 th's edition is another one to!!
Muito Grato DAF por ter construído sua Fábrica de Caminhões no Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🏁🏁🏁♋🆒🔟

Love your video dude I’m watching from Scotland 🏴.your full of useful facts
Nice one Stavros you do enjoy your self doing your videos for us out there in RUclips land. And a very nice XF
bring the DAF to America.. there's a demand for them..
Exactly Paccar would sell as many DAF XF’s in the US they can build!
Youre such a good dude.. watching from New Zealand
My da used to drive a DAF 2800 along with an FH 12, F 10 and CF for a local haulage firm here in Kilkenny.
Great video and nice tour stavros 👌👍
Excellent video thanks Stavros 👍👍

Brilliant video Stavros. Hopefully we should see a few Anniversary DAFs at Truckfest Peterborough thus year :)
Great video , smart truck . Thanks from paisley 😉
I live near Leyland the factory is massive
Daf video. Great job on the video.
Why's that gold one going to Ireland not got a stereo?
My one request Scania truck production line manufactory video please
DAF wont let him with camera into the production area, scania also same..enjoy the finished product.
Great videos stavros!! Loved it.
If DAF had gearbox like the I-Shift, I'd be all over it.
The new one appearantly is just like an I-Shift
@Westermant which gearbox do you like the most in the modern trucks Volvo or Scania
Hi stavros a challenge for you as most truck manufacturers make various types of vehicles how about doing coaches and buses see how you go on with that one.
Amazing video, good job
Awesome review as usual from STAVROS, the only thing I disagree with - the LED headlights are woeful
Great video, really enjoyed :)

they only assemble for the UK/Ireland market, only right hand drive trucks?
Cool video mate lakka truck it is. I love the interior I bet the comfort is good.
Great video I spotted one of my works trucks when you where driving out of Lancashire DAF .
👍👍👍👍👍
Lovely truck,great video
Why would you not buy a front air suspension. Makes no sense to me.
If an airbag blows you cant do anything till its repaired
@@hylkejansen7264 But the same can be said for gearbox and engine,off course parts wear out but im sure you get a replacement unit while yours is being repaired.

@@jeroen6705 ok,how much extra for air suspension.
Daf.xf.and.cf.they.are.beautiful.trucks
we spray daf parts at my work. its cool to see all the parts i use daily xd
Daf have always done a great large cab. But its about time they started making more powerful trucks. Every manufacturer has passed them in the horsepower league.
Great vlog Stavros, always look forward to your new ones every week. Was that Scott Andrews in the new XF 90th anniversary edition?
Definitely a Paccar steering wheel.., like mine except fir the center piece.
That one says DAF and mine says Peterbilt
Nice Vid Stavros...
i see they have the Paccar poster on the wall the kenworth and peterbuilt trucks great job on your videos
Great video stavros. Have you watched Easy job Patrick on RUclips he's good to watch as well
Hello from Greece :)
i want to ask about thosse 3 axle semi trucks . why some of them have the diferentia at 3rd and some at secont axle ?
whats the avandages of each setup ?
i want to ask is there any Indian company of trucks like ASHOK LAYLAND, MAHINDRA, TATA and EICHER
love your enthausium!
Like Stravos 969
Hi from USA
I love you man we have the same passion
I wish to you happy life
how much dose the daf xf 530 90th anniversary edition cost thanks

stavros you say " but ah yeah " xd
Gr8 video
Exelente video👍👍👍👍👍
Hi, was the truck revving at just 1050 rpm at 56 mph/90kph? Also do you know if the gearbox is direct drive or over drive on the 530's.
Is there a Daf American Version lhd? Just not that big fan of American offerings
What I can't understand is why the need for a convex main mirror as well as the spotter mirror? My yard (In Australia) got a shipment of new FM Volvos recently that were set up like this and the drivers demanded they be replaced with the much safer flat glass main mirrors.

Great videos as always. Best truck channel on RUclips!
Because the XF is based on the very first XF. A complete ground up redesign would yield a flat floor.
nice truck you have 😀
In Indonesia they make double Decker bus from daf chasis...
17:30 Does that sentence mean they supply headlights to Scania aswell?
i wish the high beam and the skylight were led too
Nice
07:45 DAF also collaborates with American truck manufacturers such as Kenworth and Peterbilt
I think they are under 1 group, Paccar Group
@@rmdhndwi iya bener
@@rmdhndwi tapi di Peterbilt ada kembarannya DAF LF
What are the benefits of a taglift vs a midlift?
Hi Stavros,can you please have some test drives of international 9800i pro sleeper,freightliner argosy asx or peterbilt 620HP
Hey Stavros, may I ask what's your take on the automation of trucking here in Europe? Do you think it will happen anytime soon?
Adrian Maybe I can chat about this in another video 👍
@@stavros969 That would be great, thank you
Finally found Gavin xD
So just how tempted are you to float down gears while in Harvey's company? 😁😆😈
since when they make the LF in dijon ? they make them in leyland and the CF and XF in eindhoven.
stavros i need u pro tip is taglift chassis use for cisterns mostley?
Hey there, Stavros!
Have you ever driven or been to a Ford truck? Are you going to make a review of it any time soon?
Cheers, mate!
Gábor Mátyási Hope to review one at some point 👍
good video stavros, you must test drive the old daf 3300:)
