But the time I spend in my car is not time I'm spending in the truck. The truck is a tool that I use when I need to haul stuff, or go somewhere the car won't.

Only? Not a word I can really associate with "over two tons" :-)

Or we could think of it this way: you say it's a 3/4 ton trunk, meaning its max load is 1500 lbs, no? So that means the truck itself weighs three times as much as the load it's supposed to carry.
