It may be different in other states, but if you have a vehicle that has a gvw higher than most 3/4 ton vehicles(my trailer hauling suburban is one, if I tell them) in Ca, the emissions restrictions are looser. It doesn't matter if it is licensed as a commercial vehicle or not, it is what it was original designed to do.
I had a shop tear off my weight sticker, so that they could charge me more for my smog. I found out this last time and they got it straightened out. Do NOT get rid of the sticker, it could make you a gross polluter and that means you might have to replace your engine.
