how do u know how much a 1 ton weights cause a ton is what 2000lbs and i know they weight more than that see im going to get farm tags for my half ton truck but to get farm tags it must be a one ton so im going to get a weight slip made out for it saying its a one ton and then i get to buy new axles how kool is that

a one ton pickup will weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 5000+ pounds depending on motor/trans/2wd/4wd etc.

I doubt "they" will give you a bogus weight rating because it will without a doubt be based on the factory GVW which can be referenced by the VIN and the vin plate. Its not just the axles it the springs too and with the one ton its a bigger frame, wheel/tire weight capacity, brakes, yada yada

but you never know......
