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?

Since you are going based on GAWR, does that mean the many old pre-2006 350/3500's are now considered 3/4 tons since today's 250/2500 have higher GAWRs?
Then there were the years GM had two versions of the the 2500 in the late 90 early 2000's . The 2500LD with semi-floating axles and then the 2500HD with full floating axles. Ford also made a lighter duty F250 in the late 90's as well. Then there is the Titan XD that some say it isn't a 3/4 ton(which technically is incorrect since its GVWR is in the same class as other 250/2500 trucks) which has semi float rear axles as well. Are these still a 3/4 ton? Does everyone agree on that decision?
This is why I say is all opinion since there is no correct answer since there is not set rules or guidelines that determine where each truck goes. There is also contradicting arguments for every case too.
