 Although the price varies based on individual customer specifications, each 797 costs approximately US$5,000,000.Other prices have been listed at US$3,400,000

All major components of the 797 can be serviced or replaced during the useful life of the truck, except for the frame.The overall service life of the truck is therefore dependent upon the durability of the frame which Caterpillar estimates to have a twenty-year service life.
