Mules are slightly smaller than their horse parent, and when they grow they share traits of both a donkey (the long ears), and the horse (color, tail, etc.). A Mule in the grass.
For example, a 2014 Ford F-150 is considered a half ton truck but most variants can carry a lot more than 1,000 pounds in the bed. Since these terms are probably not going away any time soon, it's best just to think of them as smaller, mediumest, and more than medium.. (Pause for laughter).
Re: How much weight have you put in a half-ton. Jul 04 2012, 4:01pm. sufice to say, about 2000 lbs is the max you should put in a pick up bed. perhaps a little less than that for a 1500, and a little more than that for a 2500.e: How much weight have you put in a half-ton. Mar 11 2012, 2:04am. Most I've had in the bed was 2994lbs....scale ticket difference at a scrap yard. Towed over 10k with a wieght dis hitch, anti sway bars and a whooping 6.9mpg at 60mph. First and last time I did that.
