Ancient history but - Eons ago dad (RIP) was pulled over in NY state in his pickup truck (IIRR he had commercial plates on it.) He had a track trencher in the bed and it did squat a bit.
Weight was OK on his axles and tires but he was over on his registration weight. Seems I remember the fine was $1000 or so.
He drove 10-wheelers and equipment trailers for years and this was his only overweight ticket.
So yes they will pull a pickup over.
Your dad (RIP) was hauling commercially. Whole different set of rules. GVWR of truck is 10,001 or combined GVWR of truck and trailer combined is 10,001 and over is considered a commercial vehicle if you are in commerce (making profit from it). At this time the operator has to have a medical card on file.
