Which Ford Models Can Qualify for Section 179 Tax Savings?
Different Ford trucks, vans, SUVs and even passenger cars can qualify for Section 179 tax savings depending on their weight, size, and how often you plan on using them for business purposes.
Ford trucks and cargo vans with a GVWR of more than 6,000 lbs. and a bed length of at least six feet – including some Ford F-150 trucks, some Ford Super Duty trucks, and some Ford Transit Van configurations –can qualify for the maximum first‑year depreciation deduction of up to the full purchase price!
Other SUVs and trucks with a bed length of less than six feet and a GVWR greater than 6,000 pounds – like smaller Ford F-150 trucks, the Ford Explorer and the Ford Expedition – can qualify for a maximum first year depreciation deduction of up to $25,000 of the full purchase price, plus 60% depreciation on any remaining balance.
Additionally, some Ford trucks and cargo vans under 6,000 GVWR can be eligible for write-offs up to $11,560 in the first year, while some Ford passenger cars under 6,000 GVWR can be eligible for write-offs up to $11,160 in the first year.

What Are the Section 179 Tax Savings Rules?
The two most important Section 179 tax rules to know are that any qualifying vehicles must be purchased and placed into service between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019, and any qualifying vehicles must be used at least 50% for business, based on mileage, in the first year placed in service.
Also, be aware that if you choose to buy a new Ford for both personal and business use, the cost eligible for the deduction is limited to the percentage you use your new vehicle for business purposes. Otherwise, all businesses that purchase and/or finance less than $2.5 million in business equipment during tax year 2019 should qualify for the Section 179 deduction.
