The newer 150s, and 1500 are more truck than a so called 3/4 ton truck was 5 years ago, and BTW. My 04 has plenty of payload of as well. According to the book. and scales
I see this posted from time to time here and it's just not true. Maybe it's accurate as it relates to straight up power output, but in no other respect is it true.

It has a much stouter drive train because it can carry more weight and weighs 1500-2000 lbs more. So it has to carry that extra weight.
I'd love to see a source for this duty cycle claim.
