Before I answer, is there a difference between a ton and a Ton in your question or is that a typo?

I'm thinking of ton versus tonne...

Although they sound the same and both refer to a unit of mass, there is a difference between the words 'ton' and 'tonne' beyond just spelling: A ton is an imperial unit of mass equivalent to 1,016.047 kg or 2,240 lbs. A tonne is a metric unit of mass equivalent to 1,000 kg or 2,204.6 lbs.
