Trucks are classified into groups based up how much payload they can carry. The F-150 is Ford's 1/2 ton light duty truck. F-250 their 1 ton truck and the F-350 their 2 ton truck. If you want a 3 ton truck you are getting into commercial vehicles.

If you are discussing trucks and want to talk about gross vehicle weight you should probably clarify that is what you are referring to.

OP, and therefore myself, were talking about the weight of the vehicle, not the payload capacity.

The F-150 Lightning weighs just over 4 tons.

Also, you got it wrong. F-150 is a half ton, correct. The F-250 (and 2500 from RAM/GM) are 3/4 ton. While the F-350 (and 3500) are 1 ton trucks.
