Welcome from another USA newbie.

That’s actually pretty funny with the fat asses we have in our country. Truthfully the modern day 1/2, 3/4 & 1 ton designation is, at best, bullshit. My truck is rated to carry 2130 lbs (or 966) Typically a “1/2 ton truck” has standard axles, transmission and doesn’t have Diesel engines; until the last few years that is. The vast majority of trucks sold in the USA are 1/2 ton trucks and most will never be used to their potential. “3/4 ton” trucks have a larger frame, have larger engines/transmissions and can haul/tow exponentially more stuff. The “1 ton” trucks are rated to haul/tow even more and can be configured with dual rear wheels. Hope that clears it up some lol https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.topspeed.com/trucks/truck-news/what-does-1-2-3-4-and-one-ton-mean-ar170528.amp.html

Yes sir! My F150, in that particular configuration, is consider a “Super Crew” and is a 1/2 ton. It’s powered by the 5.0 Coyote and has a 6 speed auto. Actually fairly quick for its size.

Hello, I’m Josef from southern Louisiana in the good ol’ warped USA. I’ve always been a Ford guy and likely always will be. I’ve had a lust for a nice boat (or maybe a R32) since the late 1990’s and I think it’s time to find one. I’m here to read through old threads, soak up information about this platform and, hopefully, not ask too many stupid questions. Im sure there’s a FAQ or typical noob questions thread around here somewhere..
