POTENTIAL TAX SAVINGS OPPORTUNITY

Under Section 168(k) of the IRS Tax Code, many businesses that invest in new equipment, including qualifying new vehicles, can potentially deduct a maximum of the entire purchase cost, of one or more business vehicles, on their IRS tax returns.*

Qualifying Ford commercial vehicles include Ford Transit, E-Series, F-150, F-250/350/450/550/600 Super Duty^®, F-650/750 Medium Duty and Stripped Chassis.* For more information, visit IRS.gov and contact your tax professional.

*Under Bonus Depreciation in Section 168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, companies may be eligible to fully expense the cost of trucks, vans and SUVs rated over 6,000 lbs. GVWR, when purchased for business use. Trucks and vans that are considered passenger vehicles, rated under 6,000 lbs. GVWR, are limited to $18,100 of depreciation in the year of purchase with normal MACRS depreciation on the remaining basis in the vehicle in subsequent years. A vehicle is not considered a passenger vehicle, and is thus not limited to the lower depreciation amounts, if it is considered a “qualified non-personal use vehicle.” Qualified non-personal use vehicles are vehicles that, by virtue of their nature or design, are not likely to be used more than a de minimis amount for personal purposes. Examples of qualified non-personal use vehicles include 1) a vehicle that can seat nine-plus passengers behind the driver’s seat, 2) a heavy non-SUV vehicle with a cargo area of at least six feet in interior length or 3) a vehicle with a fully enclosed driver’s compartment/cargo area, no seating behind the driver’s seat, and no body section protruding more than 30 inches ahead of the leading edge of the windshield. For more information, see IRC Section 280F(d)(7), Income Tax Reg. Sec. 1.280F-6(c) (3)(iii), Income Tax Reg. Sec. 1.274-5T(k), and Revenue Ruling 86-97, and contact your tax advisor for details. Only applies to business vehicle purchases occurring after Dec. 31, 2019, and by Dec. 31, 2020. Consult your tax advisor as to the proper tax treatment of all business-vehicle purchases.

CONFIDENCE-DRIVING TECHNOLOGIES

The 2020 F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis and 2021 Ford E-Series Stripped Chassis come standard with safety features and available driver-assist technologies to help you feel confident completing any task.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Available Adaptive Cruise Control* goes beyond the capability of conventional cruise control, employing both radar and camera technology. Adaptive Cruise Control lets you set a cruising speed and distance from the vehicle in front of you, an especially helpful feature in slow traffic conditions.¹⁰ When traffic ahead slows down, you automatically do too; when it picks back up, you can resume your preset speed and distance. Available on the 2020 F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis in the Driver Assist Technology Package.

*Does not include Stop-and-Go.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING

Forward Collision Warning can alert you if it senses a potential collision with a vehicle in front of you. A flashing visual warning appears and an audible warning tone sounds. If you don’t react in time, the brakes will precharge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you do brake.¹⁰ Available on the 2020 F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis in the Driver Assist Technology Package.

POST-COLLISION BRAKING

This driver-assist feature can potentially lessen the severity of a secondary collision by automatically applying moderate brake pressure when an initial collision event is detected.¹⁰ Available on the 2020 F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis in the Driver Assist Technology Package.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING

A camera mounted behind the windshield scans road lane markings and detects an unintended lane departure during day or night. When the system detects that you’re drifting outside your lane, available Lane Departure Warning alerts you in the cluster display and provides an audible warning.¹⁰ There's also the Driver Alert mode. It can recognize repeated lane drifting as a sign of tiredness and issue visual and audio alerts that it's time to pull over and take a break. Available on the 2020 F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis in the Driver Assist Technology Package.

AUTO HIGH-BEAM HEADLAMPS

Auto High-Beam Headlamps can sense poor lighting conditions and switch on to light your path ahead. They even sense oncoming headlights and dim automatically so you don’t have to worry about blinding other drivers. So you can keep your focus — and both hands on the wheel.¹⁰ Available on the 2020 F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis in the Driver Assist Technology Package.

DISTANCE ALERT/DISTANCE INDICATION

The distance alert system is designed to help the driver maintain their distance relative to the vehicle ahead of them. The system provides an indication in the cluster if the gap to the vehicle you’re following falls under a set threshold. Available on the 2020 F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis in the Driver Assist Technology Package.

PRE-COLLISION ASSIST WITH AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB)

This feature, available on the 2020 F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis in the Driver Assist Technology Package, can reduce the severity of, and possibly eliminate, a frontal collision with a vehicle directly in front of you. * The system can detect a potential collision, then emit an audible alert as well as a warning message displayed in the message center. What’s more, Automatic Emergency Braking can precharge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you do brake. If you don’t take corrective action and a collision is imminent, brakes can apply automatically.¹⁰

*Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking can detect pedestrians, but not in all conditions and does not replace safe driving. See owner's manual for system limitations.

HILL START ASSIST

Standard on the 2020 F-53 Motorhome Stripped Chassis, 2020 F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis and 2021 E-Series Stripped Chassis, hill start assist can help you switch from brake to gas without rolling backward. The system automatically works with the anti-lock brakes to hold the vehicle in place for up to two seconds while you transition your foot from the brake to the accelerator.

TRACTION CONTROL

Standard on 2020 F-53 Motorhome Stripped Chassis, 2020 F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis and 2021 E-Series Stripped Chassis, traction control helps maintain your vehicle’s grip on the road in unfavorable conditions. Traction control helps maintain your vehicle's grip on the road in unfavorable weather conditions. When the system senses a loss of traction, it applies selective braking in order to keep your wheels from excessively spinning and help maintain traction. *

*Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL

Electronic stability control (ESC) helps keep you and your business firmly on the road, even in rough conditions. Using information from steering wheel and acceleration sensors, ESC can sense when you start to lose control or traction. When the system senses a loss of traction, it automatically applies selective braking to help prevent your vehicle from sliding sideways and skidding. Standard on all 2021 E-Series Stripped Chassis models and available on the 2020 F-53 Motorhome Stripped Chassis and F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis.

*Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.
