The T359 is Kenworth's compact metro and intrastate workhorse — the model fleets chose when they wanted Kenworth durability in a truck short and nimble enough for city work. Used examples are typically vocational builds: concrete agitators in the twin-steer agitator-spec T359A, tippers, rigid trays and tankers, with the occasional light prime mover. Most trade with the mid-range Cummins six and either an Eaton manual or Allison automatic driveline, and the body fitted often matters as much to value as the chassis under it. Supply is thin and skews toward ex-fleet units on the east coast, so service history and application — bowl work is hard on drivelines — deserve close attention. With the model since superseded, the pool is fixed and gradually ageing, but the badge holds resale unusually well; well-kept later examples command firm money.

What Moves the Price
Body & fitout
The body is half the value: a straight tipper, crane or purpose fitout adds real money, while a bare cab-chassis sells to a narrower market.
Kilometres & history
Genuine kilometres with a service file out-price the same truck with a gap in its story. Interstate-highway kays read easier than stop-start urban work.
Auto vs manual
Automated and automatic transmissions carry the market now. Manuals — especially road rangers — trade at a discount outside specialist buyers.
Rego, rust & tyres
No roadworthy, visible chassis rust or a set of tired tyres all get quoted straight off the price — buyers total the driveway-ready cost first.
