You got that right. I remember a friend of mine carrying a full load of firewood in a 1/2 ton pickup years ago. The one and only wheel bearing seized and disintegrated, and since the wheel bearing is the main component holding the 1/2 ton axle in place, the axle slid out, taking the wheel and tire with it and the truck dropped on that side, almost rolled. Don't overload those 1/2 tons. Some of the newer 3/4 ton trucks don't have full floating axles as well.
