Specialist finance for new and used Kenworth trucks, from T610, T659 and T909 conventionals and the K200 cabover to C509 heavy haulage and vocational rigids. Equifund matches your application to the lender that scores trucks on freight income, contract work and asset value, not a one-size-fits-all credit template. Kenworths are built in Australia and hold their value better than almost anything on the road, and we use that resale strength to push for sharper terms across our panel of 80+ lenders.

WHO THIS IS FOR

For Operators Buying a Kenworth

Established owner-drivers, linehaul operators, heavy-haulage subcontractors and small fleets are often knocked back by banks, stalled in single-lender queues, or locked into one product by dealer finance. Usually it comes down to the same things: invoice-based or contract income, no residential property to offer as security, or a credit file marked from rate shopping. Whether you are stepping up to your first prime mover, adding a B-double set, or replacing an ageing road-train spec, the standard bank template rarely fits the job.

Your application goes to specialist transport lenders who assess freight income, asset value and trading history directly, in one structured submission with no multi-lender credit hits.

Owner-drivers & linehaul A single T610 or T659 on contract or linehaul work. Assessed on the freight task and the truck, not a payslip or a house, with a brand that holds its value behind the deal.
B-double & road-train operators Multi-combination interstate work on K200 cabover or T909 conventional. Structured for high-GCM, B-double and road-train haulage that pays on the kilometre, not a flat month.
Heavy haulage & oversize C509 and C540 prime movers for oversize, project cartage and mine-site haul. Repayments matched to project and contract income rather than a fixed schedule.
Fleets, vocational & refinance Tippers, agitators and vocational rigids, fleet additions, or refinancing an existing Kenworth and restructuring a balloon before it falls due.

SPECIALIST vs BANK vs DEALER

Equifund vs Bank vs Dealer Finance

How Kenworth finance for ABN holders compares across the three places you can fund a truck.

	Equifund, Commercial Finance Specialist	Major Bank	Dealer Finance
Who They Lend To	Established ABN holders, owner-drivers to fleets, assessed on the business and the asset.	Prefers strong financials or PAYG strength, often backed by property.	Whoever is buying that brand at the desk, on a take-it-or-leave-it offer.
Income Assessed	Freight, contract and BAS income. Low-doc for established ABNs, no full tax returns.	Full financials and tax returns usually required.	Limited, tied to the sale, not your wider business.
Lender Choice	80+ Australian lenders matched to your deal.	One bank, one credit template.	One or two aligned financiers only.
Rate & Structure	Market-tested rate, with balloon and 3 to 7 year terms and extra repayments.	Standard products with limited flexibility.	Rate loaded with dealer margin, and high balloons that flatter the monthly but cost more.
Used, Private & Auction	New, used, ex-fleet, private-sale and auction all financed.	Restrictive on used, private and auction buys.	Usually the dealer's own stock only.
Deposit & Security	$0 deposit for prime applications, secured on the truck, not your home.	Deposit and often property security required.	Varies, frequently bundled with add-ons.
Pre-Approval Speed	Typically inside 24 to 48 hours.	5 to 10 business days on average.	Fast at the desk, but the offer is fixed.

RECENT SETTLEMENTS

Real Kenworth Finance Approvals Across Australia

Kenworth truck finance settled across 80+ Australian lenders, from owner-drivers to interstate fleets. ACL 389328.

"Stepped out on my own after years driving for a fleet. Wanted a low-k used T610 for the Melbourne to Australian run. The bank looked at a fresh ABN and a single truck and said no. A lender that took the standing contract and the Kenworth's resale did the deal, and the truck's been earning from week one."

Owner-driver, linehaul

Wodonga, VIC

"Run a B-double set on a K200, general freight interstate. Needed to replace the prime mover before the maintenance got silly. Dealer finance pushed a structure that didn't suit how the lanes pay. Equifund found a lender that understood high-GCM work, and the new unit hasn't missed a turnaround."

B-double operator

Dubbo, NSW

"Road-train work out of the Territory, fuel and general into remote communities. The C509 is the only thing that holds up out here. The bank didn't understand the seasonality of the runs. A specialist lender structured repayments to the contract, and we added a second set the next year."

Road-train operator

Katherine, NT

"Heavy haulage, oversize plant for the mines. A C540 came up with the right spec and they don't last long. The bank turnaround would have lost it. The lender pre-approved on the BAS and the asset, I committed with a number in hand, and the float's been booked solid since."

Heavy haulage

Mackay, QLD

"Tipper work on civil jobs, and the council contracts pay on progress claims, not flat months. Wanted a T410 to take on a second site. Dealer finance wouldn't match the cycle. The lender structured repayments to how the claims actually land, and we tendered for the next job knowing it worked."

"Had a T909 with a balloon coming due and didn't want to hand it back, the truck's barely run in. Refinanced it through Equifund onto a structure that actually suits the lane income, kept the truck, and freed up a bit of room for a trailer upgrade."

Owner-driver, interstate

Tailem Bend, SA

"Bought a tidy ex-fleet T610 at auction to go out on my own. You've got about a day to sort the money or you lose the deposit. The lender had it organised before the next dispatch, and the Kenworth's been covering its own repayment ever since."

Owner-driver, general freight

Toowoomba, QLD

"Cattle on the road trains, seasonal and brutal on gear. Needed another T909 to hold the saleyard runs. The bank wanted property security for one truck. The lender that took the livestock contracts didn't, and the second unit picked up two more runs."

Livestock road-train

Roma, QLD

"Bulk and fuel haulage, six Kenworths across the fleet on different finance from different years. Refinanced the lot into one facility so the books make sense, freed up some room, and we've ordered a seventh for a new contract."

Small fleet, bulk haulage

Kalgoorlie, WA

"Concrete agitator on a T410, new estate work meant we needed another barrel and quick. Bank turnaround wasn't going to make the pour schedule. A lender that scores on active builder contracts took it, and we're on three estates with the same builder now."

FAQ

Common Kenworth Truck Finance Questions

Straight answers to the questions Kenworth buyers ask most.

Which Kenworth models can I finance?

Every model, new or used: T-series conventionals (T360, T410, T610, T659, T909), K-series cabovers (K200, K220), C-series heavy haulage (C509, C540), and vocational and rigid configurations. Prime movers, tippers, agitators and other body types are all financeable.

Can I finance a used or ex-fleet Kenworth?

Yes. Used, ex-fleet, dealer, private-sale and auction Kenworths are all financeable through specialist transport lenders on our panel. Kenworth's exceptional resale and nationwide PACCAR parts and service support help these deals, because lenders weigh the asset's residual value and serviceability in the approval.

Does Kenworth's resale value and Australian build help my finance?

It helps a lot. Kenworths are built in Australia for Australian conditions and hold their value better than almost any truck on the road. Lenders price partly on how well an asset holds value and how easily it can be serviced or resold, so a strong-residual brand like Kenworth can mean sharper terms and higher approval confidence than a thinly-supported one.

Can I finance a B-double or road-train spec, including the trailers?

Yes. High-GCM prime movers set up for B-double or road-train work are core business for the specialist lenders on our panel, and trailers and dollies can usually be financed alongside the truck in the one facility so the whole combination sits under a single repayment.

Do I need a deposit?

Not always. Many established operators finance a Kenworth with no deposit, securing the loan against the truck itself. A deposit or trade-in can lower repayments if you prefer, and we structure it around your cashflow either way.

Can I get finance on a low-doc or ABN-only basis?

Often, yes. For established ABN holders with a clean recent history, low-doc Kenworth finance is available without full financials, assessed on bank statements, BAS and the asset. It suits owner-drivers and operators with contract or invoice-based income who do not fit a bank's standard template.

What is the difference between a chattel mortgage and a finance lease on a Kenworth?

With a chattel mortgage you own the Kenworth from day one and the lender holds security over it, which suits most operators and can carry GST and depreciation benefits. With a finance lease the lender owns the truck and you lease it for a set term. Your specialist will explain which fits your structure, and your accountant can confirm the tax treatment.

How quickly can I get pre-approved?

Usually within 24 to 48 hours of a complete application, compared with the 5 to 10 business days a major bank often takes. Pre-approval lets you walk onto the dealer lot or bid at auction knowing your number, which matters when a low-hour Kenworth doesn't sit around for long.

Can I refinance or consolidate my existing Kenworth loans?

Yes. You can refinance an existing Kenworth to lower repayments, restructure a balloon before it falls due, or consolidate several truck loans into one facility, which frees up room for the next purchase.

Can I include the trailer, body or fit-out in the finance?

Usually, yes. Trailers, tipper bodies, agitators, cranes and other fit-outs can be financed together with the Kenworth prime mover or cab-chassis in one facility, so the whole working unit sits under a single repayment.
