When it comes to Chevy’s current lineup of Chevy Silverado medium-duty trucks, the Silverado 4500 HD, Silverado 5500 HD, and Silverado 6500 HD currently stand as the Bow Tie brand’s commercial offerings. However, until those trucks were introduced for the 2019 model year, it was the Chevy Kodiak that filled this role up until 2009. Now, we have the opportunity to purchase this lavish 2005 Chevy Kodiak that was recently listed for sale.
Posted for sale online in Texas, this 2005 Chevy Kodiak is certainly unlike most MD trucks we’ve seen before. Originally purchased new in Colorado, this truck was taken to a shop in Houston, Texas to have an extensive list of modifications performed.
Starting with the exterior, this Kodiak features grafted-on Cadillac Escalade headlamps and fog lamps, custom bed rails, a truck bed, and striping. Rolling on 28-inch American Force wheels wrapped in new Lexani tires, this Kodiak rides on an air suspension that allows for its lowered look. Further goodies include a remote starter viper alarm and an Edge programmer that provides a decent bump in output.
Moving to the inside, the interior is all custom, along with a thumping audio system. The dashboard has been color-matched to the exterior paint job, while brown leather upholstery furnishes the seats.
In the powertrain department, this 2005 Kodiak is equipped with a Duramax turbodiesel engine, and only features 17,000 miles on the odometer. Notably, the seller notes that the engine bay and undercarriage are spotless.
It’s worth noting that the seller of this truck is asking for $150,000.
So, what do you think, dear reader? Is this 2005 Chevy Kodiak worth the astronomic asking price? Or is it overvalued given the truck’s intended purpose? Let us know what you think in the comment section below!

Only 17k miles? This is an instance where you actually want higher miles on a used vehicle. That's a diesel engine from 2005 and it's not even close to broken in yet. Would not touch this monstrosity.
You put a camper on the back u got a house u can tow a house with .
The truck is very nice, but I can't see the $150 k figured. I guess if someone has more money than they need, it could be a deal to own something unique.
Based on who built this truck. It’s worth the $$. This shop does incredible work.
I bet it "Rides Like A Truck" !!!
I’ll get a 18 wheeler and trailer for that..: nice truck though
LOL 😆 chevy is the worst towing truck on the market, always have and always will be.. thing prolly couldnt tow much more then a razer and becky in the passenger seat! Waist of money!! New f150 with max payload pack will haul what this thing can..🤣🤣
If Bill had anything to do with the build it's not worth having because most of his builds aren't even road worthy
I have (and still do) owned many Silverado's, and I have never had a problem towing with them. My current fleet consists of 6 2018 Z-71 4x4 6.2L and we work the s... out of them. So far, I have only had to replace the torque converter in one of them at 136,321 miles. The rest have been great so far knock on wood. The towing capability of these trucks have been fine. I have no struggles uphill as you would with the 5.3. It makes a difference how your truck is set up. You can't make a blanket statement that Chevrolet has the worst pulling trucks. I can assure you that I have driven some Dodges in the Army that couldn't pull a flea off of a dog.
A pimp in Alabama will buy this.
No where does this truck say I'm worth 150K. The person who buys it for 150K is just as stupid as the person asking 150K for it. I could buy plenty of bad ass toys for 150K.
Nice ride but too much $$$$$ for a conversation piece. Owned a 2002 Lincoln Blackwood and this vehicle will appreciate in value and be just much of a conversation piece.
If I decided to live in it I could probably afford it.
