BUY SMART. SAVE BIG. DRIVE KENWORTH

Drive Down Taxes, Not Profits

Start Saving Now on a Brand-New Kenworth Truck

2025 brings powerful new tax opportunities for truck owners and fleet operators.
100% bonus depreciation has been permanently restored, and Section 179 deduction limits have dramatically expanded — letting you deduct the full purchase price of qualifying trucks in the same year they’re placed in service.

These changes deliver immediate cash-flow benefits, greater financing flexibility, and long-term savings for businesses investing in their fleet.

What’s New for 2025

Under recent federal tax law, major updates now benefit equipment buyers:

• 100% Bonus Depreciation Restored (Permanent): Applies to both new and used trucks placed in service after January 19, 2025

• Section 179 Deduction Expanded: Deduct up to $2.5 million annually, with a new phase-out threshold of $4 million

• Inflation Protection: Both limits adjust automatically each year to preserve long-term value

• Enhanced Interest Deductibility: Businesses may now deduct up to 30% of EBITDA, improving financing affordability

Together, these provisions allow you to write off your truck’s cost, reduce taxable income, and reinvest that capital back into your business — all in one tax year.

How It Works

100% Bonus Depreciation

• Deduct the entire cost of a qualifying truck in the year it’s placed in service

• Applies to both new and used trucks

• No phase-down schedule — permanent going forward

Section 179 Expensing

• 2025 maximum deduction: $2.5 million

• Phase-out threshold: $4 million (benefit begins to reduce beyond this amount)

• Example savings: Up to $525K–$925K in tax relief depending on business type and tax rate

Who Benefits

These expanded incentives directly benefit:

• Owner-operators upgrading equipment or adding capacity

• Small and mid-size fleets replacing aging trucks

• Vocational and regional operations investing in specialized chassis or dump applications

• Businesses financing equipment that rely on strong year-end cash flow

Qualifying purchases include most Kenworth trucks as well as, trailers, and mounted vocational equipment used predominantly for business purposes.

Act Before Year-End

To take advantage of 2025 deductions, your equipment must be purchased and placed in service by December 31, 2025.  Inventory moves quickly during fourth quarter — now is the best time to plan with your accountant and secure your new truck.
