great detaied info--thanks so much!
but i admit to knowing painfully little about it all---thank goodness for you folks!
this particular kodiak has a september build date and is a five speed automatic.
it's the LLI according to the seller.
my issues is going to be more about comfort than power at this point, as it will be our daily driver too.
the size doesn't bother me at all, it's merely taller than my current one ton dually, and with mirrors fully extended only a bit wider.
it's shorted than my long bed, as the seller chopped off two feet behind the dual tires so he could access his carriage front compartment while hitched.
we like so much about it---but that ride is rough, too dang rough!
