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.
And Toyota managed to build a 1-Ton in 2,800 pounds. Even given the safety equipment, it should be possible to do it in well under 3,500 pounds today.
