Wrongo... There was a tax buffer put in place several years back to help out farmers and construction folks that needed HEAVY trucks for use in their work.. Well, the way they wrote it up just about anyone that bought a truck over X000lbs and used it for work could get that tax credit and it literally would pay for 40% or so of the vehicle the first year.. That's the reason so many realtors started using large SUV's rather than Caddy's, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, etc.. That tax loop hole was closed last year though when the weight limits were raised to about 10,000 lbs (by manufacturer specs not real weight).. Not even the H1 would fit into that tax break now...
