Manufacturers classify half ton as 1500
Three quarter ton as 2500
And 1 ton as 3500,,
I'm guessing that 4500 would be 2 ton and so on..
How much weight exactly can each truck carry depends on the options and drivetrain,
4x4 will be able to carry less then 2 wheel drive for example..
Theres a sticker in the glove box on every new truck that shows this
