Remember when NASA acknowledged climate change occurs because of changes in Earth's solar orbit, not because of SUVs and fossil fuels?
For more than 60 years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has known that the changes occurring to planetary weather patterns are completely natural and normal. But the space agency, for whatever reason, has chosen to let...

Seen one of these today,looks better in person.
It has gross and curb weights of around 10,550 lbs and 9,063 lbs, respectively, allowing it to earn a heavy-duty vehicle rating. On the other hand, the 2022 Rivian R1T is a class below the Hummer EV Edition 1
What ? Just because it's a pig doesn't make it a heavy-duty vehicle.
Battery pack is 1,750lbs
Comparison
2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD/Gross and Curb weight of around 10,250lbs and 6,105 to 6,950 lbs ,

3/4 ton with a GVW >10K#? 
IDK why not tho?
the price tag is more than a dually should be anyhow....
Fourwheeler magazine took one (two actually?) of those Rivian's down Black Bear Pass (I think it was) last summer.
They just had a test run with an EV Hummer just last month.

The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is basically the maximum total safe weight of your vehicle, counting the curb weight (the weight of our vehicle when empty), plus the weight of your passengers, fuel, any accessories added to the vehicle, cargo, and the “tongue weight” of a tow trailer
A half ton pickup full tank of fuel a sled and passengers is basically maxed out . There's also a reason why sales people up front don't direct you to a HD when you bring it up, it's not thier job requirement.
two sleds and your over loaded

I know California requires a medical exam/card for a commercial license. Can’t remember if it’s good yearly or every two years.
All depends on where you live and your upbringing , some of the Diesel pickups now are rated at 20,000 pounds towing. It's the nut behind the wheel that matters . I try to give all rigs a wide birth and will block when needed but I'm cautious and keep my distance with the weekend warriors.
One of these coming my direction has my full attention.

Any "commercial" application with a GVW over 10K requires a medical card.
Don't need the CDL until 26,001.
The med card is good for up to 2 years, depending on your current shape and history.
That is up to your doctor.
Commercial includes race cars and horses.
Anything that you are competing, and could possibly win a purse, is considered "for profit".
Maybe they haven't been pushing it your over your way, but the last 20 years around here has been pushed pretty hard.
We had to get DOT #'s for our ton trucks, and med cards for the drivers.
