I'm considering purchasing a dump truck and am curious about the price range. How much should I expect to pay for a new or used dump truck? Any budget tips for this equipment?
 
The price of a dump truck can vary widely depending on its size, capacity, and condition. For a new dump truck, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100,000 to $200,000 or more, while used models might range from $20,000 to $100,000, depending on age and mileage.

When budgeting, consider additional costs like maintenance, insurance, and fuel efficiency.
 
Jus tmentioned this in regards to haul trucks, but sometimes number of trucks in your fleet is better than haul capacity. If your project is moving a lot of dirty you might think bigger is better. But it's probably better to have multiple trucks in rotation so your loader is constantly loading vs one big truck making run and your other operator just chillin half the day.
 
Solid point, but let’s be real, if you’re the one paying, ‘multiple trucks’ just sounds like ‘multiple headaches.’ Might be worth flipping a coin between buying a big truck or hiring a therapist for the stress of keeping a whole fleet running!
 
Great discussion! One thing to consider too is resale value because some brands and models hold their value better, making them a smarter investment long-term. Anyone here have experience with certain brands being more cost-effective in terms of maintenance and durability?
 
Definitely some solid points here! I’m also curious about the resale factor, certain brands can really hold their value. @HeavyWrench1986, any suggestions on which brands have given you the best bang for your buck in terms of durability and low maintenance costs? It could make a huge difference when budgeting!
 
hey, Dump truck prices are all over the place depending on size and condition—new ones can hit $200K+, while used ones might be a steal or a money pit. Definitely worth factoring in maintenance and resale value too! @HeavyWrench1986, I’d love to hear which brands you think hold up best over time!
 
Dump trucks aren’t cheap, that’s for sure! New ones can easily run over $200K, but a solid used one can still set you back anywhere from $20K to $100K. Like others have said, maintenance and resale value are huge factors. Some trucks are built to last, while others will drain your wallet with repairs. @Ynzo, are you looking for a heavy-duty workhorse or something more budget-friendly?
 
Good points all around! Prices can really vary, especially depending on size and condition. @Ynzo, are you leaning more toward a new or used truck, and how much are you willing to invest in long-term maintenance?
