Key Details on Section 179
This incentive lets businesses immediately expense the full purchase price of qualifying equipment (including vehicles like the Ridgeline) in the year of purchase, rather than depreciating over time. It encourages investment in new assets—perfect for fleet upgrades or work-ready trucks.

Vehicle-Specific Cap: SUVs/trucks with a GVWR greater than 6,000 lbs qualify for up to $31,300 in deduction (100% bonus depreciation may allow a full write-off if within the phase-out).
