2025 Section 179 Deduction Ford Wickenburg, Arizona Official Guide

Understanding the Section 179 deduction can result in significant tax relief when purchasing a work truck or van. Plus, with a major increase to limits for 2025, you can likely expense a significant portion of the cost of your next new or used workhorse. For instance, heavy-duty vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) that's between 6,001 and 14,000 pounds¹ – most Ford Super Duty models fall in this category – qualify for a deduction of up to $31,300 alongside potential additional bonus depreciation of up to 100% with an overall annual cap of $2.5 million, effectively letting your expense the entire cost of the vehicle for the first tax year it went into service.²

With these potential deductions on the line, now's the perfect time to visit us at Jones Ford Wickenburg and find your F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, or Transit Cargo/Passenger Van. Before you bolster your fleet, let's drill down into the details of how you can leverage such deductions.

What Are Section 179 Tax Deductions?

A Section 179 deduction is a business aid that lets you deduct up to the total cost of equipment, including vehicles with minimum business use of over 50%, from your taxable income for the year it was placed into service, rather than spreading it out.² This deduction has an annual cap of $2.5 million with a dollar-for-dollar reduction phase-out beginning at $4 million and a complete phase-out at $6.5 million.² There are three vehicle categories that qualify for varying deductions:

• Vocational & Specialized: Vehicles with a GVWR over 14,000 pounds,¹ such as heavy trucks, large buses (20+ seats), specialized equipment, delivery trucks, permanently modified vans, and special-purpose vehicles.
• Heavier Passenger Vehicles: SUVs, trucks, and vans with a GVWR between 6,001 and 14,000 pounds.¹
• Cars & Light Trucks: Traditional passenger vehicles with a GVWR of 6,000 pounds or less.¹

What Are the Section 179 Limits for 2025?

Many, if not all, of our light-duty trucks, Ford Super Duty vehicles, and transit and cargo vans fall in the heavier passenger vehicle category,¹ meaning they qualify for a $31,300 Section 179 vehicle deduction and are likely eligible for bonus depreciation covering 100% of the remaining amount.² Here's what they need to qualify:

• GVWR: Must have a GVWR between 6,001 and 14,000 pounds.^1,2
• Business Use: The vehicle must be used for business purposes more than 50% of the time.²
• In-Service Date: Must be placed into service by December 31, 2025, to qualify for your 2025 tax filing.²
• Annual Cap: You can deduct up $2.5 million annually for the purchase of business equipment.²
• Phase-Out: A dollar-for-dollar reduction will be introduced at $4 million, with a complete phase-out at $6.5 million.²

These are the requirements for the heavier passenger vehicle category – while the GVWR limits vary for the other two categories, the remaining requirements and limitations will remain the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Ford vehicles typically qualify?

The most common vehicles businesses choose that qualify are the Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty models. These commercial-grade trucks generally fall within the 6,001- to 14,000-pound GVWR category.¹ You can also expect a light-duty Ford F-150 and Ford Transit Cargo or Passenger van to meet these weight requirements.¹ You have plenty of options.

What's the 2025 "SUV cap?"

The "SUV cap" refers to the amount you can deduct under Section 179 for the 2025 tax season, and it will depend on the vehicle's GVWR. For example, models that fall in the heavier passenger vehicle category and meet other requirements could be eligible for a deduction of $31,300, along with bonus depreciation covering the remaining cost of the vehicle.²

Do passenger cars under 6,000 pounds qualify?

Yes, passenger cars with a GVWR under 6,000 pounds still qualify for Section 179 benefits on a sliding scale.² For instance, a model in this weight category that is used 100% for business is eligible for a deduction of up to $20,400.² However, let's say it has an 80% business use – your maximum deduction falls to $16,320.² Contact us for more details.
