How Much Weight Can a Pickup Truck Carry?
1 Answers
Generally, the load requirement for a pickup truck is below 0.6 tons, but it can handle up to 1.5 tons without issues. With reinforced tires, the load capacity can increase to 2-3 tons. The term 'pickup' is a phonetic translation of the American term, also known as a 'car-truck,' indicating its dual nature as both a car and a truck. It is a light-duty cargo vehicle featuring an open-top cargo box behind the cab, with the side panels of the cargo box integrated into the cab. Essentially, it combines a car-like front with a cargo box at the rear, serving both passenger and cargo purposes. Here are some additional details: 1. From a technical perspective: Pickups can be categorized into Japanese-style (Toyota series, Nissan series, Isuzu series, Mazda series, etc.) and American-style (GM series, Ford series, etc.); 2. From a product grade perspective: Pickups can be divided into high-end, mid-range, and low-end categories; 3. From a structural design perspective: They can be classified into standard double-cab pickups, extended-wheelbase double-cab large pickups, one-and-a-half-row pickups, mid-double-cab pickups, large single-cab and small single-cab pickups primarily for cargo, and van-style pickups (i.e., multi-purpose off-road vehicles, economy SUVs), etc. The most common models on the market are standard double-cab pickups and economy (SUV) van-style pickups.
