1 Short Ton [used in US] = 2 000 lbs or 907.2 kg. 1 Long Ton [used in UK and Commonwealth Nations] = 2 240 lbs or 1 016 kg. 1 Metric Ton = 2 204.6 lbs or 1000 kg. Written Mar 5.
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.
