If all you go by are numbers more power to ya. Crawl up under each truck and you'll see obvious differences that IMO still puts it in 1/2 ton category by todays standards not 15 yrs ago.
Well, numbers is what classifies a truck a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton is it not? Per us DOT, a vehicles GVWR is what puts in certain class and determines if it is a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton.
TRUCK CLASSIFICATIONS Have you ever crawled up under it to see the differences? What parts under there make it a 1/2 ton? The axles? The brakes? The trans? I am not defending the Titan XD, but if are going to call it a 1/2 ton, then you might as well call any GM 2500HD before 2010 a 1/2 ton along with most of the other 250/2500s around that time. Accept it or not, the Titan XD is by definition a 3/4 ton truck while the Titan is a 1/2 ton.
After all, just because people used to think the Earth was flat and were too stubborn to accept otherwise didn't mean they were right.
