Small truck

Curious, why a light duty over a 1/2 ton?

I contemplated the same thing when I bought my F-150.
Price of Ranger vs F-150 was within a couple grand. Mileage was within 1-2 mpg, and towing/hauling capacity is far greater with a half ton.
To me it was a no brainer to get the 1/2 ton. I may not have a regular use for the full capacity, but it was there if/when I needed it.

I grew up with a light duty, it's all I really need and I like a smaller sized vehicle.

Fair enough.
I grew up with 3/4 ton diesels, so that's what I want.

My Mazda B3000 is a 1/2 ton.

Back in the day, Toyota made a 1 ton.

It was still a mini truck.

Generally, if someone is referring to a 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton, they are talking about a full size truck.

I'm guessing since it was built.

It's a 2002.

Nope, wrong.

It always was based off of the Ford Ranger, which is NOT a 1/2 ton.

B3000 just means it has a 3.0L engine.

Okay. Well I suppose my title is lying.

I know what the B3000 means. I didn't figure 3000 meant 1/2 ton. I may be a girl, but come on.

This would be correct. Ford builds an outstanding truck. not necessarily luxurious, but its a truck, you cant ask for lexus like ride and interior luxury. theres a great reason you see a lot of GM and mopar pickups for sale, people come to hate them. you almost NEVER see any F series trucks, or rangers for sale here. people know they're bulletproof work rigs and keep em til they fall apart, then they fix em and keep on usin em.
