Light truck is a vehicle classification for trucks or truck-based vehicles with a payload capacity of less than 4,000 pounds.Fuel efficiency in the United States
The United States government uses light truck as a vehicle class in regulating fuel economy through the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard. The class includes vans, minivans, sport utility vehicles, and pickup trucks.
Light trucks have lower fuel efficiency standards than cars under the premise that these vehicles are used for more utilitarian purposes than normal passenger transportation.

One argument in support of this is that light trucks are based on automobile chassis. Crossover SUVs are a common example.[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Light truck ]
