I looked at a real nice Kodiak this week. The top of the cab is right at 8 feet. My Chalet is 6 ft from bottom of cabover to top of AC unit. With a few inches of cab clearance I would be over 14 ft. 13.5 is legal limit. Could not buy the truck. 2016 Ram 5500 on order.
While I almost bought one for the same purpose last year, honestly you're better off with the new 5500 Ram if the $was comparable. The Dmax in the Kodiaks is detuned so they're kinda sluggish and they run fine but don't have as good of longevity in med duty applications as the cummins. Plus they ride more like a buckboard even then the 5500s.
You're getting a better truck for your purposes.
