For fleet managers and owner-operators, the price of a semi-truck is more than just a number on a sticker; it is the baseline for your Return on Investment (ROI). As we move further into 2025, the market for heavy-duty trucks has stabilized compared to the volatility of previous years, but pricing remains a complex subject driven by specifications, model years, and engine choices.
If you are asking, "What is the current Kenworth trucks price?" you have come to the right place. At Wallwork Truck Center, we believe in transparency. Whether you are looking for a factory-fresh aerodynamic hauler or a reliable pre-owned workhorse, understanding the current pricing landscape is the first step to making a smart business decision.
Below is a detailed breakdown of what you can expect to pay for Kenworth trucks in 2025, based on current inventory trends and specifications.
New Kenworth Trucks Price Guide (2025-2026 Models)
Buying new means getting the latest technology, full warranty protection, and zero miles on the odometer. In 2025, factory pricing reflects the advanced engineering found in the PACCAR powertrains and next-generation driver comforts.
Kenworth T680: The Aerodynamic Leader
The T680 is the flagship on-highway truck, designed for maximum fuel efficiency.
- Price Range:$170,000 – $185,000+
- Typical Specs: These units often feature the PACCAR MX-13 engine paired with a 12-Speed Automated Transmission.
- What Affects Price: A 76-inch high-roof sleeper with the "Driver’s Studio" package will push the price toward the higher end, while a day cab or mid-roof configuration will be lower.
- Wallwork Inventory: We have seen 2024 and 2025 T680 models listed around $172,900, offering a balance of premium comfort and fleet efficiency.
Kenworth T880: The Vocational Workhorse
The T880 is built to haul heavy, dump, mix, and refuse. It is the truck you buy when the job site is rough.
- Price Range:$145,000 – $200,000+
- Typical Specs: You will see a mix of MX-13 and Cummins X15 engines. Transmissions range from 12-speed automatics to rugged 18-speed manuals for heavy haul.
- Wallwork Inventory:
- Standard Spec: A 2025 T880 Day Cab with an automated transmission can be found starting around $145,900.
- Heavy Spec: A unit equipped with an 18-speed transmission and higher horsepower for heavy lifting can range from $177,900 to $184,900.
- Sleeper Options: A 2026 T880 with a sleeper berth for regional heavy haul can reach upwards of $199,900.
Kenworth T800 & W900: The Legends
For specialized heavy haul or those who demand the classic long-nose look, these legacy models command a premium due to their durability and high resale demand.
- Price Range:$200,000 – $285,000+
- Why the Premium? These trucks are often custom-spec'd with severe-duty frames, 20k front axles, and the powerful Cummins X15 engine.
- Wallwork Inventory: A brand new, heavy-spec 2026 Kenworth T800 with an 18-speed transmission is a serious investment, often priced around $284,900.
Used Kenworth Trucks Price Guide
The used market in 2025 offers incredible value, especially for fleets looking to expand quickly without the initial depreciation hit of a new unit. At Wallwork Truck Center, our used inventory ranges from nearly-new trucks to high-mileage budget options.
Late Model Used (2023-2024)
These trucks are the "sweet spot" for many buyers—low miles, modern features, and significant savings over new.
- Kenworth T680 (Sleeper):$95,000 – $106,000
- What You Get: Expect mileage in the 120,000 to 160,000 range. These trucks often still have remaining factory warranty life and feature modern amenities like the digital dash and Cummins X15 efficiency series engines.
Mid-Life Used (2020-2022)
For buyers focused on lower cost of entry, trucks in this age bracket have seen the road but have plenty of life left.
- Kenworth T680:$45,000 – $70,000
- What You Get: Mileage will typically be between 400,000 and 500,000 miles.
- Pricing Tier:
- A 2021 model with ~450k miles may list for roughly $70,000.
- A 2022 model with slightly higher mileage (~500k) might present a bargain at $45,000 - $55,000.
Specialized & Older Used
Specialized trucks like the W900 or dump trucks hold their value incredibly well.
- Example: A 2006 Kenworth W900 (Dump Truck) can still command $80,000+ if it has been well-maintained and has low miles for its age (e.g., under 300k miles), proving that a Kenworth is an investment that pays off in the long run.
