Yeah, but "1/2 ton" "3/4 ton" "1 ton" is just as meaningless these days as 150, 250, 350.
My "1/2 ton" truck has a payload capacity of 1640lbs. Sounds like roughly 3/4's of a ton to me.
My "1 ton" truck has a payload capacity of over 5000lbs. That's 2-1/2 tons by my reckoning.
Reality is, they're just MODEL DESIGNATIONS. They don't signify anything specific like horsepower or payload capacity.
Truck manufacturers have settled on these 15-, 25-, 35-, etc. designations over the years as a de-facto standard for marketing purposes. "Our 15- is better than the other guys' 15-'s."
Look at Toyota and Nissan. They don't use the 15- designations on their "1/2 ton" trucks. They're "Tundra" and "Titan."
