DAF trucks are very popular as rigids in the UK and are converted into the most specialist of workhorses, in addition to the run of the mill box trucks.

UK market leader, DAF trucks are always the most popular on Truckpages, thanks to their reliability. The workhorses of the British economy, DAF Trucks originally acquired what was left of the UK’s truck and van manufacturing industry back in the 1990’s.
DAF Trucks – Some BackgroundSadly, shortly after the acquisition of Leyland trucks and LDV vans in the early 1990s, DAF found themselves on hard times. This time it was the turn of the hugely profitable American truck business, PACCAR, to help out.
Since the acquisition, DAF Trucks has gone from strength to strength and is now a significant part of the PACCAR business worldwide.

The largest truck cab in the DAF range – usually seen on UK roads in tractor unit guise, the XF cab originally started out in the DAF 95 back in the 1990’s – although you would never realise it from the modern look of today’s 44-tonne tractor units.
If you run a vehicle breakdown recovery business, then you can’t afford unreliability in your own fleet. That is why Recovery North West replaced a mixture of truck brands with six new DAF Trucks. The acquisition consisted of four DAF XF and a pair of LF rigids. Three of the XF trucks were 4×2 tractor…
