The Chevrolet Kodiak (and similar GMC Topkick and Isuzu H-Series) is a line of medium-duty trucks from General Motors. It is commonly used as a basis for work trucks, cargo haulers, dump trucks, and similar vehicles which require powerful torque, high GVWR, and high towing capacity. There are aftermarket coachbuilders that build them as pickup trucks and commercial trucks for consumers.
