very simply put, 1/2 ton = city truck grocery getter
In MY opinion, that statement is so wrong... The new age 1/2 ton trucks are more capable of working than ever before..
My " company " truck is a 2019 F-150 platinum and its awesome to drive.... I do not need it to tow, but it is properly equipped to tow a very decent size TT...
LOL...yeah over on haulers forums one ton DRW trucks are called grocery getters by the same types.
Besides 1/2 ton trucks are very popular out here in farm and ranch country doing work duties.
Like one of my neighbors down the road who has a F150 7550 gvwr with 4550 rawr 3.5 EB engine and pulls a 10k 18' enclosed trailer to work every day to the big city 55 miles away. He has a seamless gutter mobile service business.
I look at comments like that as either ignorant of a trucks actual mechanical capabilities or just stirring the pot.
