Ford E-Series cutaway

$50,000-$80,000

Can You Write Off Ford E-Series Cutaway?

Short answer: Yes: E-350 and E-450 cutaways under box bodies, shuttles, or ambulances are commercial vehicles, deductible in year one.

Over 6,000 lbs GVWR, the passenger-car depreciation caps don't apply: pickups with 6-foot beds and cargo vans can be fully expensed with 100% bonus depreciation, while SUVs are limited to about $32,000 under Section 179 (bonus covers the rest). Business use must exceed 50%.

Records to keep: Keep the purchase contract, the door-jamb GVWR sticker photo, and a mileage log showing business vs personal miles.
