Truck ratings, as in 1/2 ton, 1 ton, 5 ton, mean nothing as near as I can tell. My half ton pickup carries way more than 1000 lbs and isn't even over it's GVW. The 5 tons we use during potato harvest GVW at 48,000, then we get a 10% over permit so they are running at about 52,000 and change. Most of this is off-road in fields and section lines. I truely don't know what the tonnage ratings mean.
