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. The LF260 is essentially a facelifted version of the LF250 – superseding the earlier model in 2017/18 with a more efficient driveline giving improved fuel economy. 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.

There is no mention of the lower-powered 3.8 litre PX-4 engine that is used at power outputs of 156 and 172hp but DAF have introduced a lower powered option in the PX-5 suggesting that the engine range has been rationalised with the lowest output now 170hp. Across the range, the incoming model has a…
