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...

Thanks all for the very informative discussion.
From what I'm reading here, there is still confusion about the tonnage labels given to trucks. The manufacturers seem to be covering their rear ends by not using those labels. Some say the "older" trucks can haul more, some say the "newer" trucks can haul more. And "it depends" seems to be about the sum of it.....depends on axle rating, drive line, brakes, etc.
I don't think there is any question that modern trucks are rated to haul/tow more than older trucks.
The capacities increase with each generation.
And that is true for all platforms; 1/2, 3/4, and 1 ton.
