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).

I'd say certainly 3,000 lbs of bricks is too much, but what does half ton mean in real terms ? Is it technically illegal to load a half ton truck with 1,500 lbs ? I'm not talking trailers, just bed load.
