Are one ton trucks classified as commercial in some states?
I have read somewhere that 1 tons trucks are classified different in some states causing tag rates to be higher. Anyone have info on this?

My 1/2 ton is Commercial in New York.
Since I got my original license plate in 1994, they've changed the law so now anything that is <6300lbs empty and isn't used commercially can get "car" plates, I just haven't felt the need to waste my time changing the registration. The difference in cost is not that much.
Technically I can't drive my 1/2 ton pickup on parkways (NO COMMERCIAL VEHICLES), but I have driven both the Lake Ontario State Parkway, and the Taconic State Parkway, but the highway patrol has never bothered me.
