6,000 lb Maverick?

[Peps]

have you consider leasing it?

fortunately the maverick is way lighter than the 6000 lbs vehicle I do not need to carry a tank around town.
as far as depreciation there are also accelerated depreciation called 200% and 150% if you don’t want to depreciate 1/5 each year with the standard 100%.

You're right, section 179 deals with GVWR. But that's a rating set by Ford (and/or maybe the government?). I don't think you can arbitrarily change it yourself by overloading the vehicle.

Yeah I understand now. I misunderstood exactly what GVWR exactly meant, figured it was worth asking though. She said with the right options I might be able to get it there, but I guess not.

Doesn’t apply for leasing but yeah I believe she said I can depreciate up to $18k in the first year.

Does anyone know if there’s any configuration of the Maverick that would hit 6,000 lbs? I was wondering if maybe adding the bed cover would get it there.

Reason is, trucks/suvs that are over that weight can be used as a decent write off if used at least 50% of the time for business purposes. You can look up section 179 of the tax law for more info. But it’s as simple as that according to my accountant.

Superduty F-250, super cab, short bed, ought to fit the bill nicely.

Are GVWR and actual weight different? I’m seeing different numbers everywhere.

GVW = 5200# (-) 1500# payload = 3700#
