What Vehicles Qualify for the Section 179 Tax Deduction?

For the 2025 tax year, many Chevrolet trucks, vans, and large SUVs with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) over 6,000 pounds can qualify for a significant Section 179 tax deduction. 

To be eligible, qualifying Chevrolet vehicles (GVWR > 6,000 lbs) must be used for business more than 50% of the time. Refer to the chart below for specific vehicle examples and deductions. 

The deduction amount depends on the vehicle type, with special rules for heavy SUVs. For the 2025 tax year, the rules are: 

  • Heavy SUVs and vans (6,001–14,000 lbs GVWR): The maximum Section 179 deduction is capped at $31,300. After taking this deduction, you can use bonus depreciation on the remaining vehicle cost. 
  • Heavy pickup trucks with a bed at least six feet long: These are not subject to the same caps as heavy SUVs and may allow a deduction of up to the full purchase price. Examples include most Silverado HD models.
  • Heavy non-personal use vehicles: Delivery vans (cargo vans with no rear seating) and other "work" vehicles that are unlikely to be used for personal purposes can qualify for a full deduction of the purchase price.

Bonus Depreciation On Remaining Cost

In addition to the Section 179 deduction, vehicles placed into service in 2025 may also be eligible for a 100% bonus depreciation deduction on the remaining cost after the Section 179 amount has been claimed.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Your business must meet the following criteria to take the Section 179 deduction on a vehicle.
  • Business use: The vehicle must be used for business more than 50% of the time, and you must maintain detailed records (like mileage logs) to prove it.
  • Placed in service: The vehicle must be purchased, financed, and put into service for business use between January 1 and December 31 of the 2025 tax year.
  • Purchase method: The vehicle can be new or new-to-you (used), but it must be new to your business. This means you cannot claim the deduction on a vehicle you have previously owned for personal use.

For 2025, the deduction limit is $2,500,000, and the deduction begins to phase out if total equipment purchases exceed $4,000,000.
