Beer brewer, I agree the law is crazy. My Suburban weighs 6700 lbs empty with 8600 GVWR and has passenger plates like a station wagon. We recently acquired a truck camper, so will be looking for a 3500 truck at some point.
FWIW, the parks and parkways were the vision of famous civil planner Robert Moses, and the bridges on the parkways were built low on purpose so that buses couldn't use them. This meant that people from the city couldn't take the bus to the state park....only people who were well-off enough to own a car (this was late 1930's post-depression era) could use the parkway and access the parks and beaches. This type of discrimination was not uncommon all over the US in that era.
