Charles, that is only partially true. A 1/2 ton truck can be either extremely light duty, or it can be equipped to be a real work truck. It all depends on which options were ordered and how it is spec'ed out. A 3/4 ton is the same way.

The sad part of the whole thing is that finding a heavy duty equipped 1/2 ton on a dealers lot is next to impossible. I would guess that nearly all 1/2 tons on the lot will be the very light duty, glorified passenger car, type of vehicle, and will never be asked to haul anything heavier than 1 or 2 sheets of 1/2" plywood or maybe a couple of beer coolers.
For all practical purposes, a 1/2 ton truck should NOT be considered a work truck anymore.
