I read thru the handbook and boiling it all down to English it appears;
The prime factor in needing a Class A or B is the GVWR of the tow vehicle. If it's under 26,001 lbs no special license needed. If it's over 26,001 lbs and the trailer GVWR is under 10k a Class B, if the trailer is over 10k, Class A. Neither of those licenses are Commercial drivers licenses.
To me it says a Class A or B is needed if the GVWR is over 26,001 lbs. That would be where they get the big motor home drivers, over 26,001 lbs GVW.
Now if they come back and say "Oops we meant to say GCVWR (tow vehicle and trailer) in place of GVWR that would cover the newer 1t duallys rated over 26,001.
Kinda confusing.
If my guesses are correct then I wouldn't need anything. The PU has a GVWR of 11k and a combined of 23k.
