Who's confused?
Who doesn't know the difference between a pickup and a Class 8 tractor?
The big 3 changed the branding/marketing to distinguish the divergence of their heavy duty PICKUP platforms from that of their light duty full size pickups which were shared up until the 90s/00s. They'd all used HD at various times in the past to denote a model with higher weight ratings than its regular counterpart.
I don't know about Chevy/RAM 1500s, but F150s, with a few exceptions, haven't been Class 1 in over 30 years.
