what defines a 3/4 ton?
If it's payload capacity, then why isn't a properly equipped F150 considered a 3/4 ton truck?

To OP,
're F150 struggling with a 5W..... how was it struggling?!? Wheels flat, back end at the ground? Or not going fast enough?
Each of the Dr two issues is a separate issue IMHO.
Back end low. Truck does not have enough suspension. Does not matter on badging etc. But pulls a trailer like a bat out of he!!, A num Dr of folks on here bought 2500 GM Marx's when they first came out as it had a high tow rating, but could not handle the hitch weight. Back end bottomed out on bumps etc.
Too slow.... power inadequate. This could be due to smallest motor in that chassis! Seen this with.older 25/35 series truck when you could get a 125HP 300 cubic inch 6 cylinder. Suspension handle trailer fine. Power sucked!
This is not just about a size only issue. It's Any truck on the road can get into a struggling issue, due to power or suspension issues.
