I saw that specs sheet too and that's what set off my massive confusion. If the truck is a "1 1/2" ton, doesn't that mean it has a load capacity (in/on the bed) of 3000 pounds? If so, then the combined gross vehicle weight should be truck+load=CGVW, correct? Which brought me to truck+3000=12,000, or truck=9,000.
If the specs show a truck gross weight of 5,000 (rounded for ease of math) and the combined gross vehicle weight is 12,000, then the payload is 7,000 - that's 3 1/2 tons! What am I missing??
Thanks for help!
