I had checked with my accountant prior to the purchase and Section 179 is governed by GVWR, not curb weight. According to my accountant, another thing that tilted it in my favor is that we have 3 vehicles and 2 drivers in our household, so I automatically have the truck as "100% business use" since we have an additional POV. Of course, the other biggie deduction is being able to claim all gas and insurance as a business expense. I also own my own business, you can't take the deduction as an employee.
Awesome man well I’m glad it all worked out for you! That’s a sweet deal

Just cause she's pretty. Also about 1500 miles on the lift/tires so far and no issues. Truck rides as well or possibly better than stock with the Bilsteins, and the Toyos have been good in the rain and a few weekends in the mountains on steep snow/ice covered dirt roads

Soooooo happy with this truck, I had the 5’7 bed on my other truck and just couldn’t handle it anymore. This is WAY more functional and I know it’s only a couple of inches but swear this truck rides and handles better than my shorter bed one did…. I think these longer bed trucks look perfect with a mild lift and tires.
How much lift and are those tires 305/45/22?

It's been 5 years since I started this thread and I just wanted to check in. So 5 years and 149,000 miles later there she is. Aside from the manifold bolts, brakes and battery she has not been needy, just thirsty. Hope all is well and have a good one!🐏

Danggg man already 149k miles? Thats awesome it’s been reliable haha. If I keep mine til that many miles I hope it stays reliable like that for me! Good to see your truck - yours was single-handedly the inspiration for my original lift and wheels/tires. Now here we are 5 years later I’ve got 25k+ in aftermarket stuff 😂 but you were the one that kinda got the ball rolling for me by posting pics of yours
