What a Hino truck costs in Australia, new and used

Used Hinos list in Australia from $25,800 for a 2016 Hino 300 with 488,988 km. New 300 Series 616 trays and tippers ask $72,999 to $74,900, used 500 Series trucks $64,990 to $229,800 and new 700 Series trucks $215,880 to $359,880, all inc GST. Hino's releases state no prices, so weight class, body and kilometres set the price.

A Hino is three buying decisions in one. A 300 Series 616 is a 4.5 tonne truck you can drive on a car licence, a 500 Series is a medium rigid, and a 700 Series is a heavy 4x2, 6x4 or 8x4 tipper or prime mover, so one price does not exist. None of the Hino Australia releases we read states a price, so the evidence is what dealers ask. This guide sets out 14 priced Hinos across five states, opened on 22 October 2026, then the series compared, what moves the price, what an auction paid, the costs on top and how a Hino is funded. Figures are asking prices, indicative market data and not Ventas offers.

What Hino trucks are listed for

Read our Kenworth prices guide alongside this one, and the tipper truck cost guide for bodies. The table lists 14 Hino trucks from Truck Dealers Australia and Machines4U, opened on 22 October 2026. Prices are on the seller's GST basis, so convert before comparing, and a new truck shows delivery kilometres. They are asking prices, indicative market data and not Ventas offers.

Four things stand out.

• Class beats age. The 2022 300 921 with 8,209 km asks $92,500, more than the new 616 tipper and trays above ($72,999 to $74,900), because it is an 8,500 kg truck and not a 4,495 kg car licence truck.
• The hybrid premium looked small. CMI Hino asks $74,900 for a 616 hybrid tray and $72,999 for a diesel 616 tray (Truck Dealers 311371), $1,901 apart (our arithmetic), though the listings do not say the trays match. Hino claims savings of up to 22 per cent for the hybrid and the dealer says up to 20 per cent.
• Kilometres weigh less at the heavy end. The 2019 SS 2848 with 303,370 km asks $125,000 ex GST, about 55 per cent of the $226,364 ex GST (our arithmetic from $249,000 inc GST) asked for a new one in the same state.
• The body is part of the price. At CMI Hino a new SS 2848 prime mover asks $249,000 and a new FS 2848 with a Gorski Hardox tipper (Truck Dealers 910958) asks $307,500, $58,500 more (our arithmetic).

Other new 700 Series stock: an FH 1836 4x2 beavertail in Victoria at $215,880, an FS 2632 tipper in New South Wales at $269,263, a mine-spec FS 2636 tipper in Western Australia at $319,990, and an FS 2632 tiltslide in Victoria at $359,880, which our tilt tray guide covers. A 2010 FS 2844 tipper with 224,350 km in Western Australia asks $144,990.

Three listings contradict themselves. The FL 2628 shows 2022 in its year field and 2023 in its headline, the 2015 FE 1426 shows 12,000 kg GVM where the 2020 FE 1426 shows 14,000 kg, and the 2013 GH 1728 shows 206 hp in one field and about 280 hp (206 kW) in its text. Confirm each in writing before you pay a deposit.

Hino 300, 500 and 700 Series compared

None of the Hino Australia releases we read states a price. This split comes from those releases and the listings above.

Timing matters. The Euro 6 300 diesel is new from June 2026 and the 2027 500 is open to order, so some 2025 and early 2026 stock above is outgoing-model stock. Ask which model year and emissions standard the truck is built to.

What moves the price of a Hino

• Licence class and GVM. A 616 at 4,495 kg drives on a car licence. The 921 listing offers 7,995 kg or 8,500 kg, either side of the 8 tonne light rigid limit (NSW classes, our reading), so the rating changes who can drive it.
• Body and chassis. The $58,500 gap between the SS 2848 prime mover and the FS 2848 tipper is mostly body. A crane, tail lifter or fridge unit adds to the figure and narrows the lenders willing to fund it.
• Engine and gearbox. The NSW FS 2632 tipper is the 320 hp, 6-speed automatic spec at $269,263, and the 480 hp FS 2848 tippers ask $285,880 to $307,500. GoAuto reports the 9.0 litre models moving to 360 hp with a 12-speed AMT in 2026.
• Kilometres and age. Odometer alone misleads. The 2013 GH 1728 (448,079 km) and the 2015 FE 1426 (181,841 km) differ in body and rating, so price against similar trucks and ask for service history.
• Warranty. New Hinos carry five year warranties, from 250,000 km on the 300 to 600,000 km on the 700. The auction truck below had none.

New prices and what an auction paid

CarsGuide shows a 2026 Hino 300 guide range of $60,124 to $92,538 from Glass's third party data, excluding stamp duty and other government charges. The new 616 trucks above sit inside it. The 500 and 700 Series need a dealer quote to spec.

Auction results run lower. Grays sold a 2023 Hino 300 4x2 tipper with 5,639 km on 28 August 2024 for $35,599 plus GST, after 363 bids, with no warranty and a 9 per cent buyer's premium in that price band. That is about 52 per cent of the $68,073 ex GST (our arithmetic from $74,880 inc GST) asked for a new 616 factory tipper in Victoria, before the premium. The sale is two years old, so read it as a floor, not a valuation. Pickles listed 53 Hino lots on 22 October 2026 without prices, and we found no Hino 500 or 700 auction result to cite.

What you pay on top of the price

The price on the ad is rarely the cheque.

In NSW a car licence covers up to 4.5 tonnes GVM, light rigid 4.5 to 8 tonnes, medium rigid two-axle trucks over 8 tonnes, and heavy rigid three or more axles over 8 tonnes. A 14,000 kg FE is a medium rigid truck and a 6x4 700 Series needs heavy rigid. A prime mover also needs a trailer, and our semi trailer cost guide prices those.

Financing a Hino truck

Ventas is a finance broker, not a lender, so we do not quote rates here. A Hino is usually funded with a chattel mortgage, where you own the truck and the lender takes security over it, through a bank, a non-bank lender or the dealer's lender. Credit for business purposes is generally outside consumer credit rules, as ASIC explains.

Be realistic about lender appetite. Hino is a mainstream make with a deep used market, and lenders generally fund new and near-new Hinos from a dealer routinely. They get cautious about kilometres and age. A 2016 truck on 488,988 km, or one that will be well past ten years old when the loan ends, can mean a shorter term, a bigger deposit or a no. Auction and private sales are harder than dealer sales.

Illustrative only, subject to lender assessment. A used 500 Series service truck advertised at $100,000 ex GST (not one of the listings above):

And how it is typically funded across lender types:

Debt here is about 62 per cent of the cash needed (our arithmetic). A property-backed loan can cover the deposit and costs, with the risk that your property is on the line if the work dries up.

What makes a Hino deal fundable:

• Age and kilometres. A truck still inside the lender's age cap when the term ends.
• Seller. A dealer invoice with compliance sorted.
• Your file. An ABN and GST registration of some age, recent BAS and bank statements, and work behind the truck.
• Security. A deposit, or property you can put up.

To get a number from Ventas, send the series and badge (for example 616 or FE 1426), the year and kilometres, the price and whether it is ex or inc GST, whether the seller is a dealer, private seller or auction, the body, your ABN and GST start dates, and whether you own property.
