New trucks usually attract the sharpest rates, but used truck finance can still be very competitive — here’s how the two compare.
Key highlights
- New trucks usually attract the sharpest rates, longest terms and easiest approvals
- Well-kept used trucks can finance close to new-truck pricing
- Lenders assess a used truck on its age at end of term
- Older or higher-kilometre trucks may carry a higher rate or shorter term

Why new trucks get sharper rates
New trucks are the assets lenders like most: predictable value, longer usable life, and lower risk. That means the lowest rates, longer available terms, and the easiest approvals — often with a balloon to lower repayments if you refresh regularly.
Where used truck finance stands
Used shouldn’t mean a much higher rate. Lenders assess a used truck on its age at the end of the term, condition and value, so newer, well-kept trucks finance close to new-truck pricing. Older or higher-kilometre trucks may carry a slightly higher rate or a shorter term.
