Whether a multi-year or single-year write-off, it's still coming off taxable income, not taxes owed.

That truck doesn't become free. If your tax rate is 25% and you manage to write it off at 100%, you saved 10 grand in taxes. Which is nice if you need the truck, but if you don't actually need it you've actually wasted $30,000.
