GMC’s Topkick is a burly vehicle not for the faint of heart. It’s huge V8, 17,500 lb pulling capable engine can haul half your livestock, or 2 other automobiles. Though it’s size and fuel economy, in today’s world, make it a less then desirable automobile to pilot. It’s more like driving a Sherman Tank.

If you still need a heavy-duty workhorse A GMC C4500 Topkick can be yours for anywhere between $51,000 to almost $85,000. We’d hate to see your insurance rates. Perhaps the Chinese would also be interested in a Topkick?
