At saturlay last weekend we took a first look the brand new DAF series on the German NUFAM truckshow at Karlsruhe. The most people know that I´am not a DAF fan, at the moment there is only one older DAF XF 106 SuperSpaceCab for the new drivers in my company, my older DAF 105 was sold for this 106 XF and some other newer XF106 was given back to the leasing company after some technical problems. Our local DAF Truckdealer was on this truckshow last weekend too and show me the new DAF truck generation. The new trucks make a good first impression. Finally, after a long time, these DAF trucks looks modern. The old DAF XF looks like old shit, sorry, I don´t like him.
Now, 5 days later, our local DAF dealer visit us with a suprise - the new DAF XG. For the next 10 days we test this tractor and look, if we add this truck to our fleet. The tractor is ready with a hydraulic system for all our trailers.

The new DAFs look a ton better than the 105 and 106 (They were a downgrade in looks compared to the 95 / 95XF / XF95)
Eitherway, nice pics!

@W214D Of course. The new one has a very modern look. My Old XF 106 next to the DAF demo truck.. Hmm.. If the new one looks good with our main color silver-metallic?

After 2153km this week with our demo DAF XG+ 450 we get a very good feedback from our drivers, who tested this truck this week. We used this truck for 3 days with our Krone ProfiLiner and 2 days with our Stas Ferrostar trailer.. A much more space than in other cabins, some good ideas.. Ok, the 450hp engine is not a rocket and the old ZF Traxxon gearbox is not the best, but all in all we had a very good result. We asked our DAF dealer if we can buy this truck, because we need at the moment urgently a new tractor - the leasing contract of some older trucks are expired and some other truck brands can´t deliver at the moment new trucks - we wait at the moment for some new mercedes , man and scania tractor with a undefined deliver time. After some hours we got some good news - we can buy this truck, because our truck dealer has a second new demo truck. For now we are the proud owners of 5000km-old DAF XG+ 450. At the moment our second DAF.

Today was delivery time! We picked up today our new DAF XG+ 450 from our local truck dealer. After a good instruction from our salesman we are now on the way to the paint shop.
