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).
To find out how many pounds in tons, multiply by the conversion factor or use the converter if the conversion is from US short tons. 1 Short Ton [US] = 2 000 Pounds 1 Long Ton [UK] = 2 240 Pounds 1 Metric Ton = 2 204.62262 Pounds. For example, to calculate how many pounds there are in a half ton (US), multiply the ton value by the conversion factor, 1/2 US ton * 2000 = 1000 lbs in a half short ton. Ton is a unit of mass in different measurement systems and usually mistaken with each other.
