How Much Do Commercial Trucks Cost?
Price guides for commercial trucks and specialty equipment. Each one lays out what new and used units run, what pushes the number up or down, and the loan terms you can expect. Use them to set a budget and weigh your options.
Every page breaks down the spread between new and used, the things that move the price (configuration, age, mileage, region), and the financing lenders tend to offer. Sticker prices shift with the manufacturer, the options you spec, and the wider market. Pair these pages with the Data pages when you're budgeting, and the Vehicle financing pages when you need loan requirements.
Factors That Affect Equipment Cost
A few things push the number around. Configuration carries the most weight: aerial reach on a bucket truck, tank size on a vac truck. After that come chassis type (medium versus heavy duty), age and mileage on used rigs, and how hot demand is in your region. Buy new and you'll usually land a longer term, 60 to 84 months, at a lower rate than used. Each page below digs into the specifics.
How Cost Data Supports Financing
Lenders set advance rates (loan-to-value) off what the equipment is worth. Know the going price and you negotiate from a stronger spot. A used truck at 40 to 60% of new often comes with a shorter term, and the advance rate may land between 70 and 85% of value. For full ranges, see Average Cost of Commercial Trucks. To compare terms, see New vs Used Truck Financing.
