What is Section 179?
Section 179 of the U.S. tax code lets businesses deduct the cost of qualifying equipment, including certain vehicles, in the year it’s placed in service instead of depreciating it over several years. For tax years beginning in 2026, the maximum Section 179 deduction is $2,560,000. It begins to phase out when total qualifying purchases exceed $4,090,000. Bonus depreciation may also apply to qualifying property. New and used vehicles can both qualify.
Which Ford vehicles may qualify?
Vehicle treatment depends mostly on Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), body style and business use. Eligibility depends on the specific vehicle, so we’ll check the GVWR and configuration on the exact unit you’re looking at.
