Chevrolet Kodiak

The medium-duty workhorse that built America's job sites.

The Kodiak's beefy chrome grille and crew-cab versions made it a cult favorite — and when GM exited the medium-duty business, the very last Kodiak/GMC TopKick rolled off the Flint, Michigan line on July 31, 2009, ending GM's medium-duty era.
