Trucks were 1 1/2 ton and larger.

All pickups and trucks had a bowtie or GMC on the grill or a Detroit Diesel under the hood.

Being the utilitarian he was, everything else was a waste of money.

I agree!!!

1/2 through 1 ton (vehicles) are considered light duty trucks!!! AS IN PICKUP TRUCKS!!!

School buses and such (they usually have hydraulic brakes, not all though...) are medium duty trucks.

Tractor/trailer tucks that haul 53' trailers up and down the highway, that only have air brakes are heavy duty trucks.

El Caminos and S-10's barely make the grade as pickups. 3 bags of leaves in the back, and they are over loaded...LOL

Subaru Brat's and the such are cars that didn't get their roofs properly installed!!!

The word "Truck" is misused here, almost always.
