This 1997 Chevrolet Kodiak C6500 is a tow truck — sometimes called a wrecker — built for recovering and transporting disabled, damaged, or illegally parked vehicles. Chevrolet is a longstanding American vehicle manufacturer whose medium- and heavy-duty truck lines have served commercial operators, municipalities, and fleet users for decades. This example is a used unit located in Oregon, USA, and is offered at $19,900.
Power comes from a CAT 3126B diesel engine rated at 200 horsepower, backed by a six-speed transmission. The cab is equipped with a bench seat, power windows, and power locks, along with an idle-up system to support sustained PTO and recovery operations. A chrome front bumper and dual 35-gallon fuel tanks are fitted, giving extended range between fill-ups. The rear suspension runs 20,000-lb spring rating, and the truck rides on 245/70R19.5 tires with stainless steel wheel covers. Gross vehicle weight rating is 25,950 lb. The cab-to-axle measurement is 108 inches.
The recovery equipment centers on a Holmes 552 unit fitted with a 12-ton boom and dual 15,000-lb winches, giving serious pulling capacity for heavy-duty recovery work. A F-6500 wheel-lift is installed for vehicle transport without full loading, and the lighting package meets the FMVS 108 lamp group standard. Side storage boxes provide tool and equipment organization at the scene.
The body is a Daytona configuration featuring a 24-inch tunnel Daytona box and a steel pylon. A light bar and upper and lower work lights are included for safe operation in low-visibility or nighttime conditions, controlled through a dedicated switch panel. Additional equipment on this unit includes pop-up dollies, a floor jack, J-hook chains, fork holders, a trailer hitch, an air tank, a truck bar, and trash can brackets, making it a well-equipped platform ready for immediate recovery and transport duties.
