Ram 4500 and 5500 chassis cab

$60,000-$90,000

Can You Write Off Ram 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab?

Short answer: Yes: Ram's commercial chassis cabs are built for upfits like wreckers and landscape bodies, and the truck plus body can be expensed.

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.
