What’s the difference between a 1/2 ton and a 3/4 ton truck?

As a refresher, traditionally a ton is 2,000 pounds, meaning a half-ton truck would have a 1,000 pound payload, three-quarter tons are rated to 1,500 pounds, and one-ton trucks can carry 2,000 pounds of payload. Actual vehicle payloads are far higher, but we’ll get to that in a moment.

Next up, the leaf springs. A 2500HD has five leaf springs, four mains and one overload positioned under the mains with no bump stops.

Are all leaf springs same width?

Leaf spring width. On most leaf springs, the width is between 2.5 inches and 3.0 inches. Whereas the length of leaf springs correlates to the measurements of a vehicle’s rear-axle suspension, the width is an indicator of the shock absorption needs of a given vehicle.

What can a 3/4 ton truck pull?

Which 3/4 Ton Truck Can Tow the Most? The Ford F-250 has the highest tow rating among ¾ ton trucks. Its regular-cab Ford F-250 Super Duty can tow up to 22,800 lbs with a fifth wheel gooseneck hitch and a 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel engine.

What does the F-150 stand for?

This eventually changed to F-100 (for a 1,000-pound payload capacity), F-150 (for a 1,500-pound capacity) and F-250 (for a 2,500-pound capacity). In that case, you didn’t have to remember that “F-3” meant “2,000 pounds” — you just looked at the truck’s badge and you instantly had the payload capacity.

How much dirt can a 1/2 ton pickup carry?

Usually, a half-ton truck has the capacity to hold between 1-2 cubic yards of bulk soil or garden mix. A smaller pickup truck can hold about 1 cubic yard.

Can I put 3500 springs on a 2500?

As far as I know the only difference between 2500 and 3500s is the helper springs on the rear leafs. These do not touch until there is quite a bit of weight on the back. There is no difference in ride height. If you want extra height you will need a block or add a leaf.
