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?

I've always thought of a half ton truck as using many parts you would find in a full sized body on frame sedan and utilizing a semi floating axle. Now that the few remaining large sedans are mostly uni-body and there are many more uni-body SUV's, I still see some crossover of parts.
Looking at the three quarter ton and larger trucks, I expect a full floating axle, heavier frame, and larger capacity brakes.
That is actually why many in the GM and Ford forums say that they 2500LD and F250 light duty was not a 3/4 ton. Both had semi-floating axles just like the Titan XD does now which is also in the same class as most other class 2B trucks. However, many others disagreed saying that it was a 3/4 ton.
