Mid Week At Work: Job Rated. From when all trucks were work trucks.


Pickup trucks are still used for work, of course, but they've actually become the most popular single line of vehicle in the U.S.. . . at least for the time being.

As that has occurred, they've become lighter duty.  Not that there still aren't fine trucks being made, there are. But rather, there's some really light trucks out there as well.

In 1948, when Dodge declared that its trucks were "job rated", they were all stout.  Even their "Station Wagon", intended for urban use, was pretty stout compared to any other similar two wheel drive vehicle offered today.
