Just out of curiosity, how much (in pounds or kg) does your ton weigh?
As a metric user I have no idea, here only the smallest cars weigh in
at 1 ton.....
===============================================

A 1 ton truck will typically have a cargo capacity of about 900 kg and
a trailer towing capability of about 5,500 kg.

1 ton = 2,000 pounds, 1 kg = 2.2 pounds

Trucks in the US are typically referred to by their cargo capacity,
not their actual weight.
