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.

Lol, I suppose you are right. looking back for the payload, I noticed that I read the wrong curb weight. It is actually 5,280. But the payload, despite the "3/4 ton" rating, is 4,115.
Go figure.
Oh, and I meant "vehicle" when I said car. I only have one.
I'm not trying to vindicate myself in my choice of vehicle. No, it is not as efficient for "car use" as a metro or a civic or even a late model sedan. No, I don't
need the power/size. I'm not trying to say that. I am just here to venture into the betterment of my truck's FE.
