DAF LF260 Trucks for Sale (104)

If you are after a high payload, high powered 18 tonne DAF, this is the model for you. With the smaller LF cab (the CF is larger and heavier). Available in this 260hp power output across the weight range from 8 tonnes to 18 tonnes GVW, the Euro 6 LF260 will usually be found as an 18-tonne rigid – but sometimes even as an urban artic with train weights of around 25 tonnes.

If you are involved in longer distance transport and may have the requirement for nights out – then the CF260 may be the better option – the LF260 thrives best a t more local, high payload intensive operations.
