    The long ton, [1] also known as the imperial ton or displacement ton, [1][2] is a measurement unit equal to 2,240 pounds (1,016.0 kg). It is the name for the unit called the "ton" in the avoirdupois system of weights or Imperial system of measurements. It was standardised in the 13th century. It is used in the United States for bulk commodities.

    The F-150 had a capacity of over 2000 pounds, compared to 1500 pounds for the F-100. [26] This has led to categorizing trucks similarly, even if their payload capacities are different. The Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra 1500, Ford F-150, Nissan Titan, Ram 1500, and Toyota Tundra are called "half-ton" pickups (1 ⁄ 2-ton). The Chevrolet ...
