Buy one of the DAF XF480 trucks for sale here – it’s DAF’s most popular tractor unit model in the UK and we always have a huge choice available for sale here at Truckpages. The XF480 replaced the launch model’s 460 in 2018 and has proven to be highly popular with the fleets for first-life operation. A perfect combination of driver appeal and operator appeal. The truck performs well – usually fitted with the Traxon 16-speed automated transmission, although if you look hard enough you can find the odd 16-speed manual versions of the xf480. If you are wondering whether to buy the earlier 460 or the facelifted replacement, here’s what you’ll get for the extra you’ll spend: Fuel savings could be as high as 7% better and a 100kg weight reduction with an updated DPF system and a new-look interior. Spot the 480 from a distance by the revised sun visor and grille.
Not immediately obvious from the outside, but this week's front cover truck will suit the dye-in-the-wool manual transmission fans. Most tractor units in today's market use automated transmissions, but the 2020 DAF XF480 Super Space Cab High Roof Sleeper is fitted with a 16 speed manual and is one of the latest pre-new generation DAFs we have seen on the market recently. A midlift configuration, it has a FORS camera system and rear LED lights. It can be bought from Ford & Slater - check out their full advert on page 13 inside. Click to Read Page Turn Magazine Click…

So, you have almost taken the plunge. After years of sitting in someone else’s truck being paid a wage, you fancy the opportunity that financial pressure brings with it and investing in your own truck and becoming an owner driver with your very own tractor unit. There are plenty of jobs to confirm before even thinking about which tractor unit to buy. Firstly, you need to find the contract that will provide you with the work, as the best tractor unit in the world is useless if there is no work for it to do. You need to get finance…
“More of the same” was the request from Wales’ largest independent operator, Owens Group when it was time to order 40 new trucks. “And this time, we’ll buy them outright.” The company had recently bought 36 DAF XF480 6x2 tractor units in 2018 as was so impressed by the trucks and the service provided by local dealer, Watts Truck & Van they simply ordered a whole load more. This could be classed as a success for the dealer, as no DAFs had been bought for over ten years prior to that. "The DAF delivers on all key operational parameters, including…
Here’s a special edition truck from DAF that’s unlikely to grace the sales floors of their UK dealers. The Unity special edition XF is meant to bring all the countries of Europe together with the country-specific colouring on the front of the cab. In light of the UK leaving the EU, (yes, remember Brexit?) it is unlikely that truck operators will be queuing to buy a ‘Unity’ truck. However, all over the rest of Europe, DAF Trucks is introducing the Unity Edition. This unique version features a rich specification to please…
