If the average consumer has no idea what "class 2" means, then why is it "better?"
The average consumer knows what F150, F250, F350 mean. They know what 1500, 2500, 3500 mean.
I completely disagree, that's the point, those badges are meaningless. Just look at the shear number of "can my truck haul/tow this?" threads. Nobody knows what their truck is actually capable of.
F150s come in what, about 3 or 4 different GVWRs? I think the F350 can be ordered with 3 different GVWRs. 1500 trucks of today have almost as much payload capacity as 2500 trucks of a few decades ago.
If I say I have a Chevy 2500 and give no other information no one has a clue what the truck is rated for. Depending on the year and configuration it's all over the place.
