Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Engines: I 2.9-litre 408hp/2,000Nm, 460hp/2„300Nm, 510hp/2,500Nm Transmissions: ZF 125pd automatic 16sodautomatIc I6spd manual (optional) Chassis: 4x2, 6x2, 62 twin-steer, 6x4 Atter 12 years, the XF95 has been replaced by the XF1 05. Cynics may say it's the same truck with a new name and the Dutch might have erred on the side of caution to keep the flagship in line with the CF range. But revolution has been tried and tested. and invariably proved to be a failure for all the manufacturers at some point, so the evolutionary path was taken.

The three ratings of the 12.9-litre lump don't compare well with the Swedes and Mercedes in terms of power, but they score well on refinement.

The cab's bluff design means the aerodynamics aren't the best but it does give ownerdrivers more cab-space to personalise the inside and air-brush tine outside. Oaf has built a conservative reputation which serves it well, but you can't help thinking that an opportunity has been missed. LIKES AND DISLIKES...

✓ Remains traditional ✓ Steady performer • Plenty of transmission options # Limited drive line options # Revamped XF95
