Full Answer. In general, 1 ton is said to equal 2,000 pounds, but some countries outside the United States consider 1 ton to equal 2,240 pounds. The 2,000-pound ton is sometimes referred to as a short ton, while the 2,240-pound ton is called the long ton. In comparison, most cars weigh approximately 1/2 ton, and a fully grown elephant can top 7 tons.
