Looking for ways to lower your business’s tax burden while upgrading your vehicle fleet? The Section 179 tax deduction makes it possible. When you purchase eligible new Ford vehicles for business use, you may be able to deduct the full purchase price, putting money back in your business and delivering high-value returns.

What Is Section 179 and Why It Matters for Business Owners

Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows qualified business owners to deduct the full cost of certain vehicles used for business purposes, rather than depreciating them over several years. This deduction is designed to support small and mid-sized businesses by making necessary equipment, including vehicles, more affordable upfront. For business owners in Waterloo and surrounding areas, that can mean serious savings when buying a new Ford truck or van before year-end.

Which Ford Vehicles Qualify for Section 179?

Depending on weight and use, a wide range of Ford commercial vehicles qualify for this deduction. These models are especially popular among small businesses, contractors, fleet operators, and agricultural professionals:

  • F-150®
  • Super Duty®
  • Transit®
  • Transit Connect®
  • E-Transit™
  • Ranger®
  • Maverick®

Each model provides a work-ready solution with reliability, durability, and tax-time benefits.
