Just to be pedantic, it is categorized as a truck too, Class 2b, "light duty". So it's the same class as the GMC Sierra 2500, Ford F-250, and the Nissan Titan XD. I do agree it's a piece of shit but only in that it's a bigger piece of shit than the rest of its class.

A 3/4 ton F250 truck is light duty?

Apparently, and not just in the US:

Light-duty trucking is a United States designation for trucks and vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight up to 8500 pounds and payload capacities up to 4000 pounds. Light commercial vehicles are a similar class of light-duty trucking vehicles found in the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada and have a gross vehicle weight up to the equivalent of 7720 pounds.
