For us, I think the 3/4 ton BS is rooted in weight of vehicle.

Our class 1 license was traditionally 1/2 to trucks.
And at 5k#, you C ouldnt haul much. Many licensed them a 2. I think 7k.
If you had a 3/4, it probably was over 5k empty, and needed a 2.

However, pickups have gotten so heavy with 4 doors and toys,
that anything but a single cab 1/2 is near or over 5k.

So..........

But just because she's a fat ass, doesn't mean she's a strong worker! grin
