In NY state, if you use your Pickup truck for commercial purposes it must have commercial plates, regardless of its weight. So if you use your 1/2 tone truck for business purposes it should have commercial plates on it. Also all pickup trucks that weight over 6000 Lbs are supposed to have commercial plates unless it is capped and has seats, seat fitting or camping equipment mounted in it. They only have this stupid weight rule for pickup trucks.
If your vehicle has commercial plates it is considered a commercial vehicle. So if you enter a Parkway that bans commercial traffic you can be ticketed and fined. Ownership does not determine whether the truck is considered commercial of not, the plates determine it.
