They are called 1500s. So they should be 3/4 ton trucks, no? 1500lbs is literally 3/4 of a ton.

- masklinn 3y agoIIRC it’s basically a different generation of naming. 1/2 ton trucks got bigger and increased to 3/4, manufacturers labelled them 1500 (but the 1/2 ton informal naming remained), then they kept growing but the class remained. So now you have light duty trucks with >2000 lbs payload, badged 1500, and called half ton.
