Just for comparison, this "half ton" truck has a payload rating of 3125 lb! That's 1.5 tons! It's not (quite
) as monstrously huge if you look at as a 1-ton truck.
The real question is, where are the 3/4 and 1/2 ton trucks now, that slot in below this thing?
Oh, and good job that they're actually making changes related to efficiency. That's worth a cookie or two, even if it's not worth a whole pie.
