I will take the 3300 anytime. Old school, real truck drivers truck. Shifts gears , listen the engine noise, and do it yourself maintenance and repair.
You right mate
Couldn’t of put it better myself
3300... still a head turner, i had a 2800 and thought i had the world back in the day. Great times, Great Trucks.
just INSTALL a euro 6 engine and ur good okay just EURO 6 engine of that same hp if you want
The 3300 is the much better looking truck. Look at the 3300 on the motorway to the XF. It looks the business.
The commentary makes you wonder how any of us coped back in the 80's. I know which era truck I would rather be in. The engine and road noise is much better to listen to than the constant bleeping and buzzing you get nowadays, plus you could pull away from a roundabout or junction much more quickly and safely in the right gear instead of waiting for the truck to move when it decides to!
My 2800ati had the "yellow"dash everything else was the same,loved the 16 speed ZF gearbox and there was an external locker,under the back of the cab,opposite side to the air filter stack IIRC.
I go back to KDP 987 P 2800 13 speed road ranger, very reliable did 1.5 million miles
Would love to see a new xf shelled in a 3300. Best of both worlds.
Everyone is so tough, saying "old is a men's truck not a toy like new one" "good noise, shifting gears" etc but I guarantee that all of you'd cry for the new one at quarter-way from Wien to Seville. These trucks were great at the time, but don't kid yourselves, compared to the new ones they are only good when you go for a nostalgic joyride.
I’m agree Peter. I love the XF super space. The most comfortable truck to drive and tramp in. I’d love a new XG. Sadly I’m stuck with a base level R450 with a small cab.
Great looking truck the original space cab 3300
3300 space cab every time
Blijft het mooiste model de oude 3300 en 3600 space cab
No warning lights on 3300. Easy to maintain. Like a Rolls Royce after Atkinson.
2800 DKTD was maintenance free. Did what it said on the tin. Down hill after that with all extra junk bolted on.
Old truck have way more character.
Lovely bloke Brian, but the 3300 was an incredibly reliable and comfortable lorry, the best of the best and most older drivers would still want one.
Old truck ist the best, no electronic raw power, engine noise hand shifting gear
Krešimir Petrović transimition red
Tbf DAF built tanks with the buses!
The 3300 would spend more time on the road than modern stuff with electronic faults.
The 3300 looks far better.
Give me the old anyday
13 speed roadranger four over four with a split in the high range much sweeter than the nine speed roadranger Eaton twinsplitter also a fabulous gearbox. The trucks now although comfortable are full of idiot aids and completely devoid of character
Win the lottery.With that crappy daf automatic gearbox haha.I would change my XF for a 3600 anytime.Shitty electronics with crappy emission system,It's like 480 horsepower - 100 with the new euro 6
3300 is a proper truck not a lazy mans toy
Been driving trucks for twenty five years, been driving an eighteen plate Daf 530 for five weeks. The worst piece of shit I’ve ever driven☹️
wonder how much DAF paid him for that
The driver does not have to be a ' HE' , the driver like your driver train can be a ' SHE' , so taking the xf truck from today back to 1982 HE or SHE would have thought they won the lottery!! We can not afford to discriminate DAF.
Get a scania 😂
Get a life
@@erikdikkers7931 shut up dip shit
F the Scania.Been there done that
The volvo f12 was much better
How was it better? - I drove Scania 112, 142/3 but never had the chance to drive an F12.
@@garethifan1034 better transmission, better cab and more power
@@chrisxaf1237 Get you..interesting to know. I heard they were not as good a puller as the Swedes were
@@garethifan1034 they were good trucks for their time
@@chrisxaf1237 Yeah..I missed out there
I'd sooner drive the 3300 any day
Király. Nagyon szép a DAF 3300. Mikori évjáratú?
