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

I suggest you try one out. Take it to the Grocery store and to town to see if you really want to be driving around that much truck.

Any of the newer big 3 Dually's will handle your RV with ease. I know and have met several people looking to get rid of their Kodiak or Freightliner or International because they are tired of them since the new dually's are more than capable these days.
