DAF XF105

Built for the long haul


Low operating costs, best driver satisfaction and high reliability: the key development criteria behind DAF’s trucks for the long haul. It has the most spacious cab in its class, offers top comfort to the driver and high revenues per kilometre to the operator.



A joy to drive

The DAF XF105 is the ultimate driver’s truck – a thoroughbred driving machine. With a spacious, comfortable cab, that is well-equipped and beautifully finished in attractive materials and warm colours. It also offers a jewel of an engine delivering up to 510 hp and torque of 2,500 Nm for optimum pulling power and smooth ride.

A sound investment

The XF takes care of the bottom line. Features like EBS (Electronic Braking System), ASR (drive slip control), VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) and Hillholder (in combination with AS-Tronic) provide extra driver comfort, confidence and safety. While higher payloads and less vehicle downtime - thanks to longer service intervals – put money in the bank. Whichever way you look at it a good return on investment. The DAF XF Series: built for the long haul – and the long term.



Designed to provide the best working and living space

Step inside the XF105 and open up a new world of quality, finish and ergonomics. Instantly it is clear that DAF designs everything around the driver – his comfort, his productivity, and his safety. DAF knows that he needs to feel totally at home in this space.

Superb interior design

Sit in the comfortable seat, behind the ergonomically designed steering wheel and it immediately becomes clear that comfort, safety and ease of operation were given high priority during the development of the XF105.

DAF’s flagship sets totally new standards when it comes to interior design. New standards in the materials and colours which have been chosen, news standards in space and its use, new standards in quality, fit and finish and ergonomics.

The driver was always the most important consideration during the design phase for the XF105. That’s true of the attractive door trim to the modern instrument panel, from the logically positioned handles and switches to the numerous storage facilities or the comfortable steering wheel.

Powered for profit

The 12.9-litre PACCAR MX engine delivers excellent performance: from 410 hp up to 510 hp and high torques ranging from 2,000 to 2,500 Nm, with a maximum torque available between 1,000 and 1,400 rpm. The six-cylinder engine combines excellent performance with economical fuel consumption. The use of high-quality materials and extensive function integration, results in excellent reliability and durability.

The SMART injection system together with DAF SCR Technology makes the MX engine  comply with Euro 5 exhaust gas emission standards, without the need for a soot filter. The new XF105 offers extended service intervals to further reduce operating costs.

High performance driveline

The driveline is carefully balanced to optimise performance under all operating conditions, and to make the most of the engine’s low fuel consumption. There is a choice of either a 16-speed manual or the latest AS-Tronic automated transmission to deliver power to the acclaimed DAF hypoid rear axle. A hub-reduction axle is available for more demanding applications.


A solid foundation

The XF105 comes with a highly compact chassis layout, one that cleverly integrates the exhaust silencer, battery carrier, AdBlue tank, and dosing unit all into one module.

Also, by designing the air tanks and brake components layout on the inside of the chassis, space has been created for extra large fuel tanks.

The tractor unit can be supplied with a fuel tank capacity of 1,500 litres, which allows refuelling at the home base, or where it best suits the operation.

The robust XF-chassis is made of high quality steel, resulting in an exceptionally strong but lightweight chassis for high payloads.

The XF105’s rigid is completely flat, making it the perfect base for any superstructure. To make the body builder's job as easy as possible, the main frame members are pre-drilled to ensure easy mounting of the body.

A Body Builder's Module (BBM) can also be provided to facilitate communication between the electric systems of vehicle and body.





Two-, three- and four-axle tractors

The XF105 4 x 2 is optionally available with a fifth wheel and offers a wide choice of wheel bases. For transportation of large volumes, DAF can supply a 4 x 2 tractor version that has an extremely low fifth wheel height of only 96 centimetres. This means that trailers with an internal height of nearly three metres can be used for load volumes of up to 100 m3. 

This so called Low-Deck tractor has a 7.1-tonnes front axle with parabolic springs and an 11.5-tonnes rear axle with a four-bellow air suspension. A front axle with air suspension is also available as an option.

For additional payload capacity, a range of 6 x 2 chassis are available. These come either as double steered and liftable, or as a trailing axle, liftable or steered. The twin steer 6 x 2 model comes with a steered and liftable rear axle. An important advantage of this leading rear axle is its high yard friendliness. For special, light- or heavy-duty applications, the 6 x 2 tractors are available with liftable trailing axle with single or double mounted tyres.

For operators who need a limited amount of additional payload, DAF can supply the XF105 with a light and non-steered liftable leading axle and with 17.5” wheels.

To complete the tractor range, a 3-axle tractor and a 4-axle tractor with double drive are available – especially suitable for heavy haulage.

Wide range of rigids

DAF supplies the XF105 rigid as a standard 4 x 2 model with a wide choice of wheel bases. There is also an extended range of 6 x 2 rigids. The trailing-axle versions are available with air suspension on the rear axle, either single- or dual-mounted. Air suspension at the front is optional.

The XF105 is also available as a 6 x 2 rigid with steered trailing rear axle for extra high manoeuvrability and yard-friendliness. The range has been completed with 6 x 4, 8 x 2 and 8 x 4 versions.
