What a Mack truck costs in Australia, new and used

Used Mack trucks are listed in Australia from $77,000 including GST for a 2016 Granite with 707,000 km to $351,680 for a 2023 Super-Liner, and a 2022 Anthem with 45,668 km asks $285,000 including GST. Mack publishes no prices and dealers quote new trucks to spec. Kilometres, engine, rated tonnage and body drive the spread.

Mack does not publish prices. Its Australian model pages show no prices and a dealer lists a new Super-Liner as price on application, so the public evidence is the used market. This guide sets out 14 priced Mack listings across five states, opened on 22 October 2026, then the model range, what moves the price, what an auction paid, the costs on top, and how a prime mover purchase is funded. Figures are sellers' asking prices, indicative market data and not Ventas offers.

What Mack trucks are listed for

If you are weighing brands, read our Kenworth prices guide alongside this one. The table lists 14 used Mack trucks from Machines4U, Truck Dealers Australia and a Pickles Auctions Perth dealer listing on OnlyAg, opened on 22 October 2026. Each price is shown on the basis the seller used, so convert to one GST basis before comparing. Kilometres are as displayed.

Four things stand out.

• Super-Liners do not price by age alone. On an ex GST basis (our arithmetic) the 2005 day cab is $122,727 and the 2019 truck $162,727, against $200,000 for the 2017 truck and $351,680 for the 2023 truck, whose GST basis is not stated. The 2017 listing shows no kilometres.
• The same dealer can list a $70,000 gap. Two 2016 Tridents at the Dubbo seller are 128,000 km apart and priced at $209,000 and $139,000 ex GST. Both are MP8 535 hp automatics rated 70,000 kg GCM. The listings do not explain the gap beyond the model codes (CHMR and AB) and the hours, 10,500 against 13,700.
• A combination is not a truck. The $340,000 Townsville listing covers the Trident and a quad tipper trailer. A Trident prime mover on its own, in Geraldton, asks $89,091 ex GST (our arithmetic from $98,000 inc GST).
• Day cab Granites are the cheapest 2015 to 2018 trucks here: $70,000 ex GST in Victoria (our arithmetic from $77,000 inc GST) and $82,000 in New South Wales.

Three listings contradict themselves. The 2008 Super-Liner shows Townsville in the address and a NSW town in the text, the Townsville combination shows two odometer figures, and the Inverell Metro-Liner shows an ex GST price while its text says the price includes GST. Confirm each point in writing before you pay a deposit.

Anthem, Trident, Super-Liner and Titan compared

Mack Australia's own pages list four current models, and the figures below come from them. The Granite and Metro-Liner do not appear on the Mack model or vocational pages that we read, but they fill used stock and auctions.

Pickles titles pair each name with a code: CLXT for Super-Liner, CMHR for Trident, CMMT or CMMR for Granite and CSMR for Metro-Liner. The 2017 and 2019 Super-Liners in this guide carry the 16 litre MP10, and the current Super-Liner uses the MP11. Mack's January 2021 line-up reveal introduced the locally built Anthem, with the 13 litre MP8 at 435 to 535 hp.

What moves the price of a Mack

• Kilometres and hours. The 2019 Super-Liner in South Australia shows 1,058,045 km and 16,739 hours. The 2017 Super-Liner sold at auction showed 1,156,551 km and 16,179 hours. Ask for both, plus the service history.
• Engine. The 2008 Super-Liner has a Cummins and the 2005 truck a Caterpillar C-15, while the Granites and Tridents carry the MP8. Ask which engine and rating the plate shows, because parts and service follow it.
• Rated weight. The listings run from 50,000 kg GCM on the Granites to 131 tonnes on the 2019 and 2015 prime movers and 140 tonnes on the 2005 day cab. A road train rating opens more work.
• Cab and body. The day cab Granites ask $70,000 to $82,000 ex GST, below the sleeper Trident prime mover at $89,091 despite fewer kilometres. A crane or a trailer adds to the figure.
• How it is sold. The South Australian truck is listed sold as is. The Victorian Granite comes with a roadworthy certificate, repairs already done. The Perth Super-Liner shows no rego. Ask what compliance is included.

New trucks and what an auction paid

Mack Australia's model pages show no prices. Its buy page lists a 2025-plated offer on the Anthem, Trident, Super-Liner and Titan with a three-year Premium service contract, again without a price. Truck Centre WA in Forrestfield lists two new 2025 Super-Liners with the MP11 at 780 hp as "brand new to order now", price on application. A new Mack is quoted to spec, so a number needs a dealer.

The nearest public evidence is near-new stock: the 2022 Anthem at $285,000 inc GST and the 2023 Super-Liner at $351,680. Auction results run lower. Grays sold a 2017 Super-Liner CLXT in a no reserve Victorian prime mover sale on 5 June 2024 for $66,300 ex GST, after 331 bids. It had 1,156,551 km, a Mack MP10-600, an automatic and no warranty listed. Before the buyer's premium, that is about a third of the $200,000 ex GST a Queensland dealer asks for a 2017 Super-Liner with a 130 tonne rating. The trucks are not identical and the dealer listing shows no kilometres, but the gap is why you should treat an asking price as the start of a negotiation, not a valuation.

What you pay on top of the price

The price on the ad is rarely the cheque.

The registration row shows why the combination matters: in NSW a multi-combination prime mover is charged about two and a half times a short combination one (our arithmetic). A prime mover also needs a trailer, and our semi trailer cost guide prices those. For a tipper body on a Trident, see the tipper truck cost guide.

Financing a Mack truck

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

Lenders generally support heavy-duty brands with a deep resale market, but they are cautious on very high kilometres. A truck past a million kilometres, or one that will be old by the end of the term, can mean a shorter term, a bigger deposit or fewer lenders willing to look. Dealer sales with an invoice and compliance in order are easier to fund than auction or private sales, and some lenders will say no to a very old truck.

Illustrative only, subject to lender assessment. A used prime mover advertised at $165,000 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 freight work stops. Lenders look for an ABN and GST registration of some age, recent BAS and bank statements, work lined up behind the truck, the VIN, kilometres and service history, and a deposit or property.

To get a number from Ventas, send the make, model, year and kilometres, the price and whether it is ex or inc GST, whether the seller is a dealer, a private seller or an auction, your ABN and GST start dates, and whether you own property. Start at truck finance or prime mover finance, or test a repayment on the truck finance calculator. Finance is subject to lender assessment and approval.
