At one point I was pretty sure that might be what it actually was and I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying I guess that’s why I just always thought it wasn’t gonna be that simple and why it was always confusing to me because if you look at it all a certain way, when you compare a half-ton to a 1-ton with a 3/4-ton in the middle of those two, it goes in 1/4-ton increments so technically if you went by that logic, a 4500 would be a 1&1/4-ton and a 5500 would be a 1&1/2-ton so who knows. Maybe since the 4500 and the 5500 were made for serious work then maybe that’s just why they built them that way to where the 4500 and the 5500 go in 1/2-ton increments between the two and up from a regular 1-ton.
Oh I know, it’s just like even before they started making the longer 6 foot beds and the other beds that were shorter than 6 foot, there was a lot of times back when the 6 foot beds were the common that not all of those truck beds were exactly 6 feet long so yeah, I get what you’re saying. I was just my merely asking kind of for fun that you know, if a 1500 is classified as a as a half ton and if a 2500 is classified as three-quarter ton and if a 3500 is classified as a 1 ton then what would it be for the 4500s and the 5500s.
