Section 179 Tax Deductions Program
Jeep & RAM Section 179 Tax Deduction
If you're trying to save on costs and get your growing business to the next level, Dan Cummins Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Paris will proudly help you learn about vehicles that are eligible for Section 179 tax savings. What is the Section 179 Tax Deduction? It's a tax code designed by the U.S. government to assist small-to-medium-sized businesses. Thanks to the Section 179 deduction, you may be able to write off the cost of vehicles that are used for business purposes more than 50% of the time. There are deadlines that exist every year to enter the vehicle into service and claim the tax deduction, so act fast and head to our Ram dealership in Paris, KY, to explore our inventory of eligible vehicles.
Which Vehicles Qualify for the Maximum Deduction?
Under the Section 179 tax code, vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of over 6,000 lbs qualify for the largest immediate write-offs. Because many RAM and Jeep models are engineered for heavy-duty capability, they fall perfectly into this category.
Full Deduction Potential (GVWR 6,001 – 14,000 lbs):
These vehicles can typically qualify for a 100% write-off in the first year:
RAM Trucks: RAM 1500, RAM 2500, and RAM 3500 Heavy Duty.
RAM Vans: RAM ProMaster® 1500, 2500, and 3500.
Jeep SUVs: Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Wagoneer, and select Jeep Grand Cherokee / Grand Cherokee L models.
Jeep Trucks: Jeep Gladiator.
Passenger Vehicle Limits:
Vehicles under 6,000 lbs (such as the Chrysler Pacifica or smaller Jeep models) may still qualify for a partial deduction—currently capped at $20,200 for the 2026 tax year—helping you save even on lighter fleet vehicles.
What Are New Section 179 Limits for 2026?
The 2026 tax year introduces higher caps to account for inflation and economic growth:
2026 Deduction Limit: Up to $2,560,000 (an increase over 2025).
Total Equipment Spending Cap: $4,090,000.
Bonus Depreciation: Reinstated at 100% for qualifying vehicles placed in service by December 31, 2026.
