Available from 2018 in the UK, The top powered DAF XF530 was sold as a Space Cab as standard with a Super Space Cab as an option. Prior to the introduction of the XF530 at end of 2017, the top powered tractor unit from DAF was the XF510 but with the facelift, the top of the range DAF XF received more power, now topping out at 530HP at 1675rpm from the 6-cylinder, 12.9 litre PACCAR MX-13 engine with maximum torque of 2600 Nm at 1000-1400 rpm. There were three Transmission choices at the time of 2017 launch. The choices of gearbox to look out for are the standard 12-speed TraXon 12TX2620 DD, 16.69-1.00 or the upgraded, optional 16 speed TraXon or even the 16 speed manual for the old school. Standard rear axle ratio was 2.53, but buyers of the XF could specify a ratio of 2.4 or 2.69. Whilst most of the XF530 trucks you will find on Truckpages will be 6×2 tractor units, users could also specify a 6×4 unit for heavy haulage or simply added traction.
The rarities will be finding a rigid with the 530 engine. They were made, but would typically be built with expensive bodies with even more expensive cranes on – so expect them to be kept by their first owners for many years.

Perhaps a virtual truck show is even better than getting your favourite truck stuck in a muddy field with the real thing?

So, DAF Trucks has revealed the winners of its 2021 Virtual Truck Show – the second online event in successive years following ongoing pandemic restrictions and the postponement of the truck industry’s traditional show season. The DAF Truck Show Winners 2021 Three winners have been selected after DAF Trucks’ Social…
The sale of four DAF XF530 6x2 tractor units to Hazrem Environmental in South Wales has resulted in the operator going from having no DAF trucks on the fleet at all to the brand making up the majority of trucks on the fleet. The deal was closed after the company received strong endorsements from DAF operators for both the DAF marque’s suitability as a fleet tractor, and for the excellent support from local DAF Dealer, Watts Truck & Van. The dealership has enjoyed outstanding results in the South Wales region having registered 322 vehicles in the last 12-months, capturing 38.2%…
Work hard, play hard. That is the message from Flintshire Transport Services who have taken delivery of their super-spec DAF XF from Motus Commercials in Stoke. Their new truck has to graft all week on general haulage with no time off at the weekend as it tows the trailer containing the company’s Porsche racing car.

Dave Buchan, sole driver of the truck, explains, “Whilst the truck is kept busy fulfilling a FEDEX contract, the high spec and all the…
