  Light truck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Light truck or light duty truck is a vehicle classification for trucks or truck-based vehicles with a payload capacity of less than 4,000 pounds (1,815 kg).
Light trucks have lower fuel economy standards than cars under the premise that these vehicles are used for more utilitarian purposes than normal passenger transportation.
Since light trucks sold in the United States are increasingly being used for normal passenger transportation, some have advocated applying higher economy standards to light trucks that are not used for utilitarian purposes.
