Payload numbers that mimic a ram 5.7 2500 Laramie Longhorn actually...
And that would be my point, at what time do you stop calling it a 150/1/2 ton truck. Those numbers are 3/4 ton truck numbers not 1/2 ton numbers. They (F-150) cost the same as the 3/4 tons also, like I said whatever trips the ole trigger.
Don
Used to say just call and refer to them via their GVWR's but not many understand that
Now say just call them all 'half ton' TV's (pickups, SUV's, etc) and then use
their GVWR's are model badges
That way, the majority of the TV herd that only wants a 'half ton' can get
their way and then the confusion of 'which half ton' becomes academic with
the inclusion of GVWR's...
But know won't fly, as folks like the terms: "max tow", 'HD', etc vs the
only real way to know whatch-a-got with GVWR's...guess just not sexy enough
using techie vs marketing...
