Unless you use it commercially you don't need a CDL no matter how big it is.

But as others have said unless you are rated over 26,000 you aren't commercial anyway.

I don't have a CDL and so far no state I've lived in has required one. (Ohio, Georgia, New York, Virginia) They have exceptions for non-commercial/recreational use.
