Question: how many tons can a pickup truck carry?
Answer: In general, a half-ton pickup can hold up to 3000 lbs of payload on the truck bed. A three-quarter-ton pickup can hold up to 4000 lbs of payload on the truck bed. And a one-ton pickup can carry up to 6000 lbs of payload on the truck bed. However, the payload capacity reduced significantly if you are towing a 5th wheel.
