Anything whose purpose is commercial in nature would be a commercial vehicle. To that end, rental cars are commercial vehicles. If you're talking about the FMCSA definition of a Commercial Motor Vehicle, it would depend on year, make, model, and if it's used on a for-hire basis. If it's used for commercial purposes and has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 10,000 lbs., it's a Commercial Motor Vehicle, and, IIRC, the current models of the Ford F350 and other one ton chassis have a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in the 12 - 13,000 lb, range, meaning they would be CMVs, and they would require the FHWA annual inspection sticker, etc. The operator would also be required to keep a current DOT medical card in interstate operations.
