    Why are you so stupid?

    Your Daf would be completely useless on NA market, try driving your short wheelbase 4x2 truck doing 80mph+.

    I've had two 2012 105XF and now two 2016 106XF. Both are starting to fall apart at 4-5 years.

    If having 4 trucks, having same issues at each one of them, is not enough of experience then I don't know .. maybe brochure somewhere says different.

    I agree with you. There are no old DAF trucks running or for sale.
     
    spsauerland and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    I think you are missing what he is saying. If you go to where 20 year old trucks are, besides US and Canada, you won't find any DAFs there because they don't last 20, but all the other manufacturers' trucks do.

    Plenty of places were truck below Euro6 can go, many dump trucks, construction trucks are 20+ years old, still working hard.
    Dafs are long time rusted on scrapyard as I said.

    And do you think owner is interested in changing truck every single 4-5 years? Your little socialist brain can't accept the fact that someone paid for truck 15 years ago, and he still makes money, without need of buying new POS Daf. Not everyone is employed, has a boss, but that's very hard to understand for someone as stupid as you are :)

    As far as I know they were all rebuilt. Good buddy of mine is the overhaul planner for syncrude shovels. I will ask.

    I believe that was on the haul road behind my old bay. They relocated those from one mine to another. One mine went all electric shovels, one mine went all hydraulic.

    I've been out of the loop the last 7 years. I think Aurora only had 2 left.
