The tonnage refers back to the quantity of weight the truck is designed to haul interior the mattress effectively. Chevy makes use of the definitely weight numbers in pounds for his or her trucks. a million/2 ton = 1000 3/4 ton = 1500 a million ton = 2000 a million a million/4 ton = 2500 a million a million/2 ton = 3000 a million 3/4 ton = 3500

In the old days, it was the amount of weight the truck could haul. Now they still use the words, but the weight has gone up.
Subtract the "vehicle weight" from the "gross vehicle weight" to find out how much the truck can haul. This will include the weight of the people in the truck.
