New tow vehicle!

This is my new TV. It's a 06 Chevy 4500 Kodiak. Got my new Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel hitch in the other day and hooked up to see how everything looked. What do y'all think? Nose is a little high but not very much.

If that's a diesel, I'd check the payload..... Joking aside, Cool truck. How's the ride in something like that.

Thanks. So far the ride has been pretty good. Has air ride front seats, air ride cab and air bags on the rear axle.

That is cool!
Why the 4500 rather than a 3500 aside from the cool factor? Do you need a CDL to run that beast?
Congrats on the new TV!

Basically I just loved the looks of the Kodiaks. Figured you can't have too much truck. I have a Ram 3500.

Sweet ride. Don't think the weight police will be harassing you any time soon. [emoji3]
