2009 Chevrolet Kodiak

Chevrolet Kodiak has consistently been a segment leader in the medium duty market because it delivers more of what customers demand from their medium duty trucks - durability, versatility and reliability. The 2009 model year is no exception, as Kodiak enhancements include greater weight-carrying capacity, larger available wheels, revised air seats for even greater comfort and more vehicle diagnostics for additional peace of mind.

For 2009, Kodiak C5500 4x4 customers benefit from an optional higher Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) - 21,500 pounds. That's an increase of 2,000 pounds over the base 19,500 lbs. To accommodate the additional weight rating, C5500 4x4 models are equipped with larger, 70-mm front brake calipers (compared to 64-mm on 19,500-pound GVWR models). The 21,500-pound GVWR requires the Allison 2350 six-speed transmission and 19.5-inch wheels.

The Kodiak C4500 and C5500 Series are available in Crew Cab, Regular and Commercial Cutaway Chassis Cabs, as well as vocational packages to cover motor home, school bus, fire and rescue, ambulance, shuttle bus, wrecker and snowplow requirements.

For larger tasks, the C6500, C7500 and C8500 Series (Class 6, 7, 8) trucks offer Regular, Crew and Commercial Cutaway Chassis Cab offerings. The T-Series is a range of low cab forward trucks in GVW classes 6, 7 and 8 offering the widest range of product specifications in the segment.

The Chevrolet Kodiak medium-duty trucks are produced at the Flint Assembly Plant in Flint, Mich.
