Gregory's Server@equiraptor Originally, they carrying capacity for the Ford trucks was 1000 pounds for an F-100, 1500 pounds for an F-150, etc.
Similarly there were numbers for Chevy and Dodge.

@Ralph058 Originally, yeah. But that hasn't been the case for a few decades. You can't assume a pickup's payload by its model name (which you seem to have done in two prior comments).
BTW, an F150 is a half ton truck. There isn't really a "1.5 ton" or "4.5 ton" truck in the common nomenclature, at least in the US.

Pickups now CAN carry more than they could in the past. Does it justify the hood height? No.
