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?
Forum Discussion
When light-duty trucks were first produced in the United States, they were rated by their payload capacity in tons (1/2 ton-, 3/4 ton - and 1-ton). Over time, payload capacities for most domestic pickup trucks have increased while the ton titles have stayed the same. The now-imprecise ton rating is presently used to compare standard sizes, rather than actual capacities.
