Surely this is a mistake, as no one is road tripping in a 3-ton truck. That is pretty much a box van or dump truck. The vast, vast majority of trucks are light duty 1/2 ton or smaller.
- _ea1k 3y agoI think he meant the literal weight of the vehicle, which is ~6,500lb IIRC. It isn't exactly a standard usage, as it is a 1/2 ton truck by normal truck standards.
- rascul 3y agoThat weight puts it closer to a 1 ton truck. 1/2 tons seem to weigh approximately from 4700 to 5500.
- _ea1k 3y agoIMO, the old tonnage scheme is pretty weird and outdated at this point. It was originally meant to be based on payload, but those days have long passed. CT is in a weird in between. Payloads are similar to modern half tons, but GVWR is closer to 1 ton. In the market, it really competes with 1/2 ton vehicles, so I'm going with that, but there are good arguments that it doesn't really fit that class well.
