Section 179 Deductions for Your New Ford Vehicle!

December 9th, 2025 by

Taking Advantage of the Section 179 Deduction

Section 179 allows qualifying businesses to deduct the full purchase price of eligible vehicles in the same year they’re put into service. Businesses can expense up to $1,080,000 in qualifying vehicle and equipment purchases—making now the perfect time to upgrade your work fleet.

What Is Section 179?

Instead of depreciating a vehicle over several years, Section 179 lets you deduct the entire cost in the first year.
To qualify, the vehicle must:

  • Be used more than 50% for business

  • Meet IRS size/weight requirements

  • Be placed in service by December 31, 2025

Many Ford trucks, vans, and large SUVs meet these guidelines.

Ford Vehicles That May Qualify

Many of our most popular work vehicles exceed the 6,000-lb GVWR requirement, including:

  • F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550

  • Ford Expedition & Expedition MAX

  • Ford Transit & Transit Connect

  • Ford E-Series (Econoline)

Maximum Savings

  • Ford trucks with a 6+ ft bed (F-150/F-250/F-350) may qualify for up to 100% first-year deduction (full purchase price).

  • SUVs and trucks with shorter beds may qualify for up to $25,000 first-year deduction, plus additional depreciation.

Always check with your tax advisor to confirm eligibility for your specific vehicle.
