Light duty trucks compose a large portion of the pickup truck market. Common light duty trucks include models such as the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ford F-150, RAM 1500, Nissan Titan and Toyota Tundra.
Most shoppers who buy light duty trucks have only personal or light commercial truck needs, towing small items, for example, or hauling things such as furniture or small to moderately sized building supplies or construction equipment. Most light duty trucks have a payload capacity that ranges from 1,500 pounds to 3,000 pounds, and a towing capacity of around 12,000 pounds.
Light duty trucks are also best for those looking to use their truck around town or even in suburban areas. The reason is they're easier to park than their heavy duty counterparts -- and far easier to drive on narrow roads common to urban areas.
