am not talking about laws and truck classes elsewhere. I am talking about our own truck classifications. In the US, class 7 and 8 trucks are considered heavy duty. Any truck with a GVWR between 26,001 and 33,000 lbs is a class 7 and any vehicles over 33,001 GVWR is a class 8. The F750 has a GVWR between 32,000 lbs(14,500 kg) and 37,000lbs (16,700 kg) depending on the configuration. So here, it is a heavy duty truck regardless of your opinion.
So 80% is false even if you are only counting class 8 vehicles without Ford. Peterbilt, Kenworth, and Navistar make up 43.4% of the class 8 market not counting class 7 which is also heavy dut
Seeing I have been using Global classifications all along your defintion of " Truck" does not exist outside NA. So tbe F750 would be a MDT, as some of those Japanese Trucks have GVWR's of 50,000lb but are are MDT's
