If your business depends on reliable, tough work trucks and vans, the end of 2025 is an extraordinary moment to buy. Ford and Ford Pro are running strong year‑end incentives on commercial vehicles and work-truck lines, from Super Duty® pickups and Transit® cargo vans to F‑150 work trucks, and Friendly Ford in Roselle is ready to help local businesses convert those offers into real savings and smarter tax planning.
Big savings from Ford right now
Ford’s national programs and Ford Pro commercial incentives have made 2025 a buyer-friendly year: across many Super Duty® and commercial models you’ll find cash incentives, special finance offers, and low, or zero‑percent APR programs or retail bonus cash on qualifying models. That means lower monthly payments, cash‑off deals, and flexibility tailored to business needs; a practical reason to move from planning to signing this December.
Year‑end timing + tax advantages = immediate business value
If you buy and place a qualifying vehicle into service before December 31, 2025, your business may be able to take advantage of federal first‑year expensing under Section 179 and recently updated bonus‑depreciation rules for 2025. Heavy‑duty trucks and vans with the required business use (more than 50% business use) are often eligible for significant first‑year deductions, a powerful way to offset the purchase cost on your 2025 tax return.
Why that matters for Illinois businesses
Illinois taxpayers generally start with federal taxable income and then apply state adjustments. Some recent guidance and state forms indicate Illinois requires addbacks or adjustments related to federal bonus depreciation timing, so your federal write‑offs may need a state modification — but the overall outcome still favors buying and placing qualifying equipment into service before year‑end, because it locks in the federal tax treatment for 2025 and starts the depreciation or Section 179 election in the correct tax year. Always run the numbers with your accountant so you maximize federal benefits and correctly handle any Illinois state addbacks.

Quick checklist for businesses thinking about buying before year‑end
• Verify business use: document that the vehicle will be used more than 50% for business.
• Place in service before 12/31/2025: lock the vehicle into the 2025 tax year for Section 179/bonus depreciation.
• Talk to your tax advisor: Illinois state tax treatment can require adjustments; confirm how to report federal first‑year expensing on your Illinois return.
• Ask Friendly Ford about special Ford Pro or retail incentives: let us pull the best current offers and calculate payments.
