I haven't seen this discussed much, so I thought it was worth mentioning. The term "G-Wagon Loophole" is referring to people using this tax code to buy Mercedes G Wagons because they weigh just over 6k lbs. I'm in real estate and bought my R1T to commute about 100 miles a day to work. I purchased my truck through my business for business purposes. Thanks to a change in the tax code a few years back, a business owner can depreciate the entire cost of a vehicle used for business in the first year, if it weighs more than 6k lbs. Yup... I can depreciate the entire cost in the first year which works out nearly half the value of the truck in tax savings. I haven't gotten the exact cost back from my CPA yet, but I'm guessing I'm out about $54k for my truck that came in at $91,588, when it's all said and done. I don't make the rules and I don't break the rules. Please don't hate. Maybe they'll rename it the "R1 Loophole."
