thinking of buying a 2006 kodiak---what do you think?

ok, i'll ask about the LBZ duramax--what does it mean if it does or does not have it? same with the air ride--which i assume it doesn't as the test drive was very bouncy and truck like, lol. the seller says the carriage behind it will make the ride much smoother---but around townn it'd be nice too, as it will be our only vehicle sometimes.
i love that it's just a bit wider than my one tone dually, but shorter and taller overall. i'll still be able to park it easily.
i do confess to liking to parallel park my dually downtown in front of skeptical menfolk, lol.

also it does have after market (i assume) air seats, which don't have arms and weren't terribly comfortable. i know they can be changed out, can the air ride suspension be added?
thanks, this is a pretty steep learning curve and i appreciate the education i get here!

Those trucks are very customizable. The problem is GM discontinued the model in 2009 and everyone that has one for sale wants a lot for them. I am look for one myself. That add doesn't tell much info about the truck.

Believe the 4500 Kodiak does have air ride...great looking truck and should be more than enough truck to tow your 5er with....:)

it's in excellent shape and should suit us well for full timing.

we would rather have too much truck than too little, and this truck was built to tow a 35 carriage lite and did it well.

yep, that will do it.

Thanks for the link and yes that so do it OP :W I thought they all had air ride :H

Make sure it has air ride suspension or you'll be in for a rough ride.

That should be an excellent choice of tow vehicle. The especially if it has the LBZ Duramax.
I'd buy it.

not sure how the duramax motors go for the kodiak series but if its the lbz platform that should be a stout motor. looks awesome. good luck.
