In my mind, a 1/2 ton is built more like a car, and a 3/4 ton is heavier all the way around - from the front suspension to the rear axle. I think it actually weighs about 1000 lbs. more empty with all that gear on it. Of course, 3/4 ton gas mileage is terrible compared to a 1/2 ton.

We'll I wouldn't want a 3/4 ton I would want a 1 ton at least what the hell can a 1 ton do other then waste more gas to load albertsons groceries!
The weight I would see a decent truck to pull is 6500 pounds to 8000 I plan to have a reliable truck that can haul jetskis and crap around.ahell the newer v6 Chevy models pull more weight this is a joke!
