The answer depends on what do you mean by "ton".

If you refer to the "ton" generally used in United States, then the answer is yes, that ton has 2000 pounds.

However, if you refer to the "metric ton", also knows as "tonne", used in the metric system, then the answer is no. One metric ton (or tonne) has 2204.6 pounds.

There are actually some different units referred to as a "ton":

  • The "Metric Ton" (or tonne) is 2204.6 pounds (1000 kilograms) - this term is used everywhere
  • The "Short Ton" is 2000 pounds (907 kilograms) - this is the "ton" generally used in the United States, and sometimes in Canada
  • The "Long ton" is 2240 pounds (1016 kilograms) - this imperial system unit is rarely used anymore as most countries that did use it now use the metric ton
