"because it can load or carry up to a half ton of equipment"
This is a common misconception. For clarification Nissan rated the payload of it's 2006 Nissan Titan XE 2WD as 1587 Lbs. but the Titan is considered a "half-ton" pickup. The 1/2 ton. 3/4 ton, and 1 ton ratings are outdated references to trucks of previous generations and are now nothing more than a reference.
