Engines: 45-litre 4cyl, I 80hp/702Nm, 6.7-11tre 220hp/850Nm, 250hp/950Nm, 290hp/1,020Nm Transmissions: ZF 6spd man, Eaton 9spd manual, ZF 6spd automatic Chassis: 42,60 GVWs: 13.0t, 1452, 15.0t, 18 Ot, 21,0t Wheetbases: 3,250-6,300mm MODEL TESTED/PUBUSHED: LF55 18 December 2003 Oafs modular -pick'n'mix" range moves into the middleweight sector with the LF55, which covers 12-21t and is available in 4x2 and 6x2 configurations, as well as an urban etc for operations up to 28t GCW.
Like the LF45, power comes from the Cummins ISBe unit though Daf insists on calling it a Paccar engine. In the LF55 there's only one --180hp -rating of the little 4,5-litre four-cylinder and three versions220hp, 250hp and 290hp of the larger 6.7-litre, six-cylinder motor.
The LF55 is aimed at the payload-conscious sector of
the distribution market with a 13-tonne body-plus-payload for the 6x2 21-tonne rigid claimed by Daf.
The stylish cab, shared with the LF45 and, beneath the skin, with the Renault Midlum, lacks some of the creature comforts that are offered by other distribution trucks on the market, not least by Daf itself (see CF65/75, left), and the LF seems best suited to local operations.
