Question Gross Vehicle Weight (gvw)

I was interested in the Audi Q5 untill I learned it has a gvw of ~5.5k.

The ML is abouve 6K gvw. What does the GLK have?

Looking for over 6K for le IRS issue

This is what I saw on cars.com

I thought this tax loophole was closed a few years ago, when IRS excluded suvs.

Wife got a Range Rover to take advantage of over 6k vehicle tax benefit in December 04. In 05, the loophole existed in USA, but at a MUCH lower, who cares tax benefit.

GLK would not come close to qualify.

A loophole still exists. It is from the fall stimulus. It is for rapid depreciation not for a tax credit (which, yes, was amazing) but it still works to drop you into a lower tax bracket.

Last time I looked it was $25K+50%+20%

GLK Maximum GVW 5467 -- yea so that means the GLK does not qualify.

At least it is not close. The Acura MDX is like 5995 - someone at Acura needs to add five pounds.

Looks like I will continue to look at the ML
