A new custom food truck build costs $75,000-$150,000; a used truck in good condition costs $25,000-$75,000. Used trucks can have hidden mechanical and equipment issues — always get a full mechanical inspection and a separate inspection of all food service equipment (fryers, griddles, refrigeration) before purchase. A newer, more reliable truck minimizes costly breakdowns that cancel bookings; weigh this against the capital you preserve by starting with a used vehicle.
