That has to be terrifying to drive.

Huh? why the hell would it be terrifying?

The ad says the Toyota is a 3/4 ton? Really, a small Toyota truck from the 80's with a 4cylinder is a 3/4ton? Maybe it’s just me, I know there is not really any true definition, but it just does not compute to me.

Eh, it’s a nice looking truck, but that slide in with hanky wiring and no shitter is MAYBE worth a grand. Besides, you already have a longbed, so what you really want is a class B Toyota RV. Those old Yota RVs are really the only old Toyota trucks that still exist around here (I assume because nobody drove them in the winter), and I’ve seen ones that were just as nice go for less. And they have a shitter! Don’t listen to that ad, you want a shitter.

I’m a “flatlander” where winds can take Semis into the ditch at the drop of a hat. It’s not the vehicle itself. I wouldn’t drive an F350 SD equipped that way. It’s not 1985 anymore. That isn’t safe.

ahh ok. I personally disagree, I’ve pulled trailers and had slide in campers. I’ve taken them as far north as Alaska, and as far south as Florida. Personally I’d take a slide in camper over a trailer in strong winds. Hell my Mom drove a bigger rig than that from MT to FL and back, back in 80. Wind is certainly a risk among many, but it’s not even in my top 10 concerns regardless if I’m towing, or have a camper in the bed.

you are correct and anyone who doubts hasn’t had the experience of driving RV’s on the highway, my pucker string will never be the same

It has to do with payload. You can put 3/4 of a ton, 1500lbs, in the bed. There was a time that meant something, before it got replaced with the meaningless “small, medium, large” designations of the American full-size truck market.

I don’t know... I work in the semiconductor industry in New York... that would probably tell you enough I guess.

When I was about 13 my mom had a Toyota Pickup with a long bed that had factory 1 ton badges on it. Never seen another.

Was it mostly s Toyota still keeping with that? By even the 70's the American full size trucks it was already pretty much lost all meaning. My impression had always been that it never really meant anything, because there was no standard.

Most smaller trucks still had that definition, especially the imports, up to the 80's at least. The Jeep Comanche came in a one-ton, and you could get an S15 which was a half-ton over the S10's 1/4, among others. But it was still a bit more of a nominal payload than anything else. I do suspect though when Toyota was trying up get into the US truck market someone must have asked and then they stuck with it as a marketing gimmick if someone else told them otherwise. Mostly the other ones were pretty nominal too.
