Actually the 5 ton designation is payload capacity i believe that the weight unloaded is around 15000lb
12000
"Tare" weight. means the unloaded weight of whatever it is that you are weighing (e.g.: To weigh a truckload of stone you must first know the unloaded weight (tare weight) of the truck. Then, to find the weight of just the stone, subtract the tare weight of the truck from the total weight of the loaded truck. The difference will show you the weight of the stone).
a light duty tow truck weighs between 7500lbs and 9500lbs unloaded.
The 1980 Ford F-100 has a 10,000-pound towing capacity and a 4,700-pound load capacity. The truck features a V8 engine.
Undoubtedly a truck scale.
Depends on what axles came on the truck and their weight ratings. For example if the truck came with a 9000lb. capacity rated front axle and a 18,500lb. capacity rated rear axle, the gross vehicle weight of the truck would be 27,500 lbs.
A pound could be the weight of a toy truck but never a "real" working truck. usually a ham or turkey dinner weighs 1 pound so rationally it is unrealistic to believe a full sized truck could weigh a pound. And yes a truck could weigh a ton. Think of it this way, If a normal sized elephant weighs 8 pounds and the truck your picturing is one pound then the truck is 1\8 the weight of an elephant. That's still large in comparison.
The allowed capacity is written right on the truck.
In the vicinity of 24,000 - 26,000 lbs, all things dependent.
