What is a 3/4 ton pickup?
Since we all drive campers with pickups underneath, I suspect many will have an opinion to this question: just what constitutes a 3/4 ton pickup? Axle capacity? frame strength? brakes? GVWR? Payl...

I've always though of it this way:
1/2 ton = Ford F150 / Chevy 1500
3/4 ton = Ford F250 / Chevy 2500
1 ton = Ford F350 / Chevy 3500
But I think it has more to do with payload than engine size.
I remember my dad buying a factory extended Dodge van that was what Dodge said was a Heavy Duty 1/2 ton but 3/4 ton rated. They told him if it had the full floating rear axle, it would have been a 3/4 ton.
I think the OP's question could be ask about the 150, 250, 350 or the 1500, 2500, 3500. Why only one zero on the Fords and two zeros on the others?
