In the United States, when people say a ton, they're most often thinking of the short ton, or 2000 pounds. In the UK, a ton is equal to 2,240 pounds. Depends which ton you want:
A ton is 2000 pounds (907.19 kg), so does it follow that a half-ton truck weighs 1000 pounds (453.5 kg)? Actually, the name doesn't refer to the weight of the truck. In fact, half-ton pickups weigh much more than that. The weight of a truck without cargo or passengers is called the curb weight. For example, many 2007 half-ton pickups have curb weights between 9000 (4082.3 kg) and 11000 (4989.5 kg) pounds [source: Edmunds ]. The half-ton description loosely refers to the truck's payload capacity.
