LD and HD have been used for marketing for years describing various 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks.
I had a '90 model 2500 LD chevy 7200 gvwr 350 engine 4L60 tranny 4.10 gears 2wd long bed 9.5" rear axle. This truck towed doubles (26' trailer and 18' bazz boat at 10700k gcw) for over 8 years. I ran it for 235k miles and gave it to my 16 year old youngest grandson. He ran it up to 252k miles and sold it to another teen in his town. The old truck is still seen and last report had 312k miles.
Ford has their F150HD 7850-8200 gvwr with 13 different gvwr and 5 different rawr packages.
And lets not forget what a...
LDT.... (covers 1/2 to 3/4 ton and one ton srw/drw)
MDT....
HDT....
is considered.
Over on Dodge/Ram spec website LD has been in use for several years. OP is a bit late his findings.
