2026 Section 179 Tax Deduction Overview and Limits
Section 179 of the IRS tax code lets eligible businesses deduct the purchase price of qualifying equipment, including certain new Ford vehicles, put into service during the tax year. It's designed as a true small-business incentive that rewards companies for investing in the tools and vehicles they need to grow.
Key details include:
- 2026 Deduction Limit: $2,560,0001 -- Good on new and used equipment (as long as new to the buyer), purchased or leased.
- 2026 Spending Cap: $4,090,0001 -- This is the maximum amount that can be spent on equipment before the Section 179 Deduction available to your company begins to be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis, this cap is what makes it a "small business tax incentive," with complete phase-out at $6,650,000.
- 2026 Bonus Depreciation: 100%1 -- A tax incentive that allows a business to immediately deduct a large percentage of the purchase price of eligible assets, generally taken after the Spending Cap is reached and applies to new and used.
Qualifying equipment must be purchased and put into use before Dec. 31, 2026,1must be used for business purposes more than 50% of the time and must be titled in the company's name (not the company's owner's name).
Which Ford Vehicles Qualify for Section 179?
A vehicle's eligibility for Section 179 depends largely on its Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and how it's used for your business. In general terms, heavier work-oriented vehicles offer more favorable treatment, while lighter passenger vehicles are subject to stricter limits.

- Cars, Light Trucks & SUVs (Under 6,000 lbs.): Subject to IRS "luxury auto" depreciation limits (Section 280F)1
How Do I Use the Section 179 Tax Incentive?
Taking advantage of Section 179 starts with choosing a qualifying new or used Ford vehicle and putting it into business use before the end of the tax year. You'll generally need to document that the vehicle is used for business purposes more than 50% of the time and that it's titled in your company's name rather than a personal name.1
Our Ford finance team can guide you through selecting an eligible commercial vehicle, though your accountant or tax professional should always confirm the exact deduction you can claim.
