GVWR over 6,000 lbs (heavy SUV / truck) — unlocks the larger Section 179 first-year write-off

Standard mileage deduction $8,400 

Section 179 / actual deduction $40,000 

Business use 67% 

Tax saved (mileage) $2,688 

Tax saved (Section 179) $12,800 

Expensing the vehicle beats the mileage method by about $31,600 in first-year deductions here. Remember: pick a method in year one and you may be locked in.

Education only, not tax advice. Section 179 and bonus depreciation have weight classes, business-use thresholds, recapture, and annual caps that change year to year. The mileage rate shown is editable; confirm the current figures and your eligibility with your CPA.
