FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a DAF LF on finance through the dealer?

Yes. PACCAR Financial operates through DAF dealers. We compare their offer against our panel - the best rate wins.

What body types are available on the DAF LF?

Box van, curtainsider, flatbed, dropside, refrigerated, tail-lift and double-deck are all common. Specialist bodies (tipper, crane) are also available. Body type has a minor effect on rate.

How does the DAF LF compare to the Mercedes Atego?

Both are dominant in the medium rigid market. The DAF LF is often slightly cheaper new and has a loyal following in distribution. The Atego has a slight edge in cab refinement for some operators. Both have strong used markets.

Is the DAF LF good for multi-drop delivery?

Yes - the LF's low step cab entry height is a key selling point for multi-drop drivers who exit and re-enter the cab dozens of times per shift. This makes it very popular for parcel networks and urban distribution.
