force = weight (mass)

therefore, 1 ton = 1 truck = force

No...the "ton" refers to payload - ie how much it can carry in the bed. So, a one ton truck could (theoretically) carry 2000#s in the bed, 3/4 ton 1500#s, 1/2 ton 1000#s. Each manufacturer has different specs so the actual amount it is rated to safely carry varies, but the above give you a rough idea.

it means that you can have 1 ton in the bead.

Why do half ton trucks have a 1500 designation?

I believe the 1500 is how many kilograms of weight you can carry on the rear axle or in the bed/back of the truck. Half ton is what the truck weighs unloaded! an empty 1/2 ton weighs close to 3300 pounds. that's slightly over 1 1/2 tons. the kilo grams statement might be correct though. 1/2 ton load max. 3/4 ton = 3/4 load.
