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?

Yes, but as I keep saying, that is your opinion which you are allowed to have. However, opinions change from one person to the next. There are no set criteria on what constitutes a truck being a 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, or 1 ton. It is all subjective depending on who you ask.
Nope, not an opinion unless you want to say that 98% of the truck buying population is of the same opinion.
Everyone knows when they walk onto the lot which are 1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton trucks (again with the exception of the asian brands which are a tiny percentage of the market anyway)
Yes, it is opinion. Just go to the GM forums and see them debate whether a 2500LD was actually a 3/4 ton. Half say yes, and half say no. Then there is the Ford light duty F250. Half say it was a 3/4 ton and half say no. Then their is the F350 that gets de-rated into a 10k GVWR. Most say it is still a 1 ton while others say it is now 3/4 ton. Then there is the F250 with the camper package which essentially gave you the exact same truck, suspension and all, as an F350, but with an F250 badge. Some say it is still a 3/4 ton because of the 250 badge and others say it is a 1 ton because it has the exact same components as the F350.
So yes, it is all opinion.
