There is no clear definition for what is too large to be a pickup truck. Most of the time the line is drawn where the features or target market of a truck no longer primarily serve private owners (eg Ford F-550 and larger), or a CDL (commercial driver's license) is required. Examples of exceptions include [[International XT]], F650{{sic}} SuperTruck and [[Tractor unit|prime mover]] to pickup truck conversions.
