    Purchasing a new truck this year. I understand that the interest on a loan and depreciation is tax deductible. But can the FET paid on the sale be deducted on the first year tax return?

    It's not "thee" truck. But it's a 680. Spend a lot of time on the road. Trying to be as comfortable as possible.

    Yep ask your accountant when you have them do your taxes because it really isn't deductible with a few exceptions.
