A 1 ton truck will typically have a cargo capacity of about 900 kg and

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.
Thanks, interesting.
It's approximately 10% difference then to a normal metric ton (1000
kg).
Speaking about towing capacity, what kind of drivers license do You
need for this kind of towing ( truck + over 3000 kg trailer) ?
Just curious of the differences!
