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?

The F150HDPP has a 4800 rawr which is small and limits it to approx 2400-2500 lb payload in the bed.
Where does one find the RAWR for a specific truck?
Certification sticker is on the drivers side door post and looks like shiners picture. Your looking for a fawr and rawr.
The F150 has had over a dozen different gvwr numbers from a low 6200 on up to a 7850 and 5 or so RAWR numbers.
Fleet Ford specs can show number like...
7850 gvwr and 4800 rawr for the HDPP.
7550 gvwr and 4550 rawr..
7050 gvwr and 4050 rawr...
6800 gvwr and 3800 rawr...
and even lower than that.
As you see ya' gotta' have the HDPP for carrying hitch loads from a 8k-10k 5er.
The 3.5 Eboost engine or the 5.0 with the right gears has the power to pull the 10k 5th wheel trailer.
As you see depending on which F150 is being cussed or discussed make a big difference.
Any 3/4 ton gazz or diesel will have no issues pulling a 10k 5er or carrying its hitch load.
