Designations like quarter-ton, half-ton and three-quarter ton trucks, are just designations to give a consumer the general size of the truck. Some half-ton trucks are really rated to carry more than 1 ton. For instance a late model Toyota Tacoma is a quarter-ton truck, but depending on the configuration it is rated to carry between 1300 and 1600 pounds in its bed. Each individual truck will have a rating given to it by the manufacturer and that is best to go by to figure out how much it will carry. Look for a sticker in the door jam on the driver's door to tell you a vehicle's capacities.
