The Kenworth T610 / T610SAR (Superseded) page covers the Superseded T610/T610SAR Australian range, not a blended or invented “typical truck”. The first published configuration in the buyer table is T610/T610SAR Euro 5, with Build-specific and Cummins X15 · 485–600 hp · 1,650–2,050 lb-ft. The table below separates OEM facts from calculations that must be completed for the actual build.
Businesses in Linehaul, Livestock, Mining, Agriculture may assess the Kenworth T610 for B-double and B-triple trunking, Linehaul, Livestock transport, Refrigerated road trains. That is only a screening list. The commercial decision depends on the exact GVM or GCM, body, axle distribution, route access, driver licence, utilisation and the revenue earned per loaded kilometre.
Prime-mover payload is not a useful standalone number. Confirm certified tare, front/rear axle loads, fifth-wheel position and legal combination mass for the exact build.
Kenworth does not publish a universal L/100 km result. Use ECM history and an application-matched route model for a used T610.
For towing or combination work, confirm the truck rating, coupling rating, trailer ATM, axle limits and applicable road rules. An OEM maximum is not automatically the legal or commercially sensible figure for every build.
Kenworth does not publish a national RRP for the configuration on this page. The $380,000 figure used in the calculator is an example finance amount only, not a vehicle valuation, dealer price or claim about what this truck costs. At the displayed example assumptions, the repayment is approximately $1,748 per week before fees or any balloon.
Replace that example with the written chassis, body, accessories and on-road quote. For a used truck, also provide the year, kilometres or hours, seller, service records and condition. Lenders can treat private sales, older assets and specialised bodies differently.
The most common finance structures for the T610 are:
A useful submission explains what the truck will carry, who pays for the work, expected loaded kilometres, downtime allowance and how repayments perform under a weaker utilisation case. It should also reconcile the purchase quote to the finished asset and identify any body or equipment that has a narrower resale market.
Compare repayments with and without a balloon and test the balloon against a conservative future value. A lower scheduled repayment does not mean lower total cost, and an assumed resale value is not a substitute for repayment capacity.

| Decision input | What to measure for this truck |
|---|---|
| Revenue unit | For B-double and B-triple trunking, record jobs or loaded kilometres per week, average invoice value, payment terms and empty repositioning. |
| Alternative duty | Model Linehaul separately from B-double and B-triple trunking; body weight, stops, idle time and driver hours may not transfer. |
| Capacity constraint | Use the exact T610/T610SAR Euro 5 build and completed tare. Check whether mass, cubic volume, axle distribution, towing or route access limits revenue first. |
| Operating evidence | A Linehaul applicant should support the case with recent utilisation, maintenance cost and fuel or energy records relevant to Livestock transport. |
| Downside case | Recalculate repayments and working capital with lower Refrigerated road trains volume, more downtime, slower customer payment and no assumed resale uplift. |

Indicative estimates only. Actual repayments depend on credit profile, lender, rate and terms. Last updated 9 August 2026.
Used Kenworth T610 trucks may be eligible, subject to lender limits for age at the end of the term, condition, kilometres, seller and valuation. Older or specialised trucks may require a condition report, deposit, valuation or shorter term.
An active ABN is generally required for business-purpose truck finance, but an ABN alone does not establish eligibility. Lenders may assess trading history, financial evidence, contracts, credit history, deposit, asset and seller.
It depends on the structure and transaction. A GST-registered business may be entitled to a GST credit for the creditable business-use portion of a purchase, subject to holding a valid tax invoice and current tax rules. Confirm treatment with an accountant.
Accessories such as tray bodies, refrigeration units and toolboxes may be included with the T610 chassis if the lender accepts the complete asset and supplier. Confirm invoices, ownership, installation timing and tax treatment before settlement.
Some eligible established businesses may be considered without a deposit. A deposit can be required because of trading history, credit profile, truck age, seller, asset type or requested amount. The exact requirement is lender-specific.
There is no universally best structure. A chattel mortgage can suit businesses wanting ownership from settlement, while lease structures may suit different cash-flow or replacement objectives. Compare the rate, fees, total amount payable, end-of-term obligations and eligible tax treatment with your broker and accountant.
Request a no-obligation review from a specialist truck finance broker. We assess relevant lender options and explain the rate, fees, balloon or residual, and total amount payable.
