Commercial truck classification[edit]
Further information: Truck classification
Commercial trucks are classified according to the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). The United States Department of Transportation classifies commercial trucks with eight classes:[4]

• Class 1 – GVWR ranges from 0 to 6,000 pounds (0 to 2,722 kg)
• Class 2 – GVWR ranges from 6,001 to 10,000 pounds (2,722 to 4,536 kg)
• Class 3 – GVWR ranges from 10,001 to 14,000 pounds (4,536 to 6,350 kg)
• Class 4 – GVWR ranges from 14,001 to 16,000 pounds (6,351 to 7,257 kg)
• Class 5 – GVWR ranges from 16,001 to 19,500 pounds (7,258 to 8,845 kg)
• Class 6 – GVWR ranges from 19,501 to 26,000 pounds (8,846 to 11,793 kg)
• Class 7 – GVWR ranges from 26,001 to 33,000 pounds (11,794 to 14,969 kg)
• Class 8 – GVWR is anything above 33,000 pounds (14,969 kg)

 

And I gave specific definitions. Let's make it easy for you. What specific regulation makes pickups generally a cmv? I'm not talking specific hazmat or 1 ton and larger pickups that generally meet the gvwr requirements. I'm talking about the vast majority of pickups out there.
So, what specific regulation makes pickups a cmv? Not opinion pieces, or incorrect, user editable wikipedia articles. The specific regulation?
I've already posted the regulation that states generally pickups are not cmvs as per fmcsa.

What Counts as a Commercial Vehicle?

 

Not one subject to DOT regulations though. The Honda Civic provided to my cousin by her real estate agency to drive clients around is also a commercial vehicle.
