Business Vehicle Brands We Finance Every Day in Australia

Business vehicles are among the most commonly financed assets for ABN holders in Australia. Tradies, owner-operators, fleet managers and small businesses buy utes, vans and light commercial vehicles every day — and the finance market for these vehicles is highly competitive. Overdrive Funding compares 80+ lenders to make sure you get the lowest rate available.

Here is a breakdown of the business vehicle brands we finance every day and what ABN holders need to know.

Utes — The Most Financed Business Vehicle in Australia

Dual-cab utes dominate business vehicle finance. They are the default vehicle for tradies, contractors, farmers and field service teams. The top brands are well known to every lender on our panel.

• Toyota HiLux — Australia's best-selling vehicle for over a decade. Every lender on our panel knows the HiLux inside and out. Exceptional resale values make low doc same-day approvals routine for ABN holders.
• Ford Ranger — The second most popular ute in Australia and gaining fast. Ranger resale values are strong, particularly Wildtrak and Raptor variants. Same-day approvals are common.
• Mitsubishi Triton — Long-standing favourite with tradies. Solid resale values and excellent lender familiarity. Low doc approvals are straightforward.
• Isuzu D-Max — Popular in construction, mining services and agriculture. Strong resale backed by Isuzu's reputation for reliability.
• Mazda BT-50 — Shares a platform with Isuzu D-Max. Good resale values and competitive pricing.
• Volkswagen Amarok — Growing fast, particularly the V6 variant. Strong residuals and premium positioning make lenders comfortable.
• GWM Cannon / Great Wall Ute — More affordable entry point. Gaining market share with competitive pricing. New ABN and low deposit options available.
• LDV T60 / T60 Max — Budget-friendly option. Approved by most lenders though at slightly higher rates than Japanese brands.

Vans are the default business vehicle for couriers, tradespeople, cleaning services and mobile businesses. The brands below are financed by every lender on our panel.

Cab Chassis & Light Trucks

Business Vehicle Finance: What Lenders Look At By Brand

Fleet Finance: Multiple Vehicles at Once

If you are buying two or more business vehicles at the same time — a ute fleet for your trade business, a van fleet for your courier operation, or a mixed fleet of utes and cab chassis — we can arrange fleet finance that covers all vehicles under one application. Fleet pricing often attracts better rates than individual vehicle applications.

Why Not Just Use Dealer Finance?

Toyota dealers offer Toyota Finance. Ford dealers offer Ford Finance. These are brand-backed single-lender products — convenient at the point of sale, but with no competitive comparison. A broker compares 80+ lenders and negotiates rates on your behalf. For a $60,000 HiLux over five years, even a 1% rate difference saves approximately $1,800 in total interest. Over a fleet of 10 vehicles, that is $18,000.
