VIN Decoder
Am ready to purchase a new F-150 and I was trying to use the VIN decoder to verify the towing capacity (vs what the dealer told me). I used the VIN that was on the sticker and the results on the decoder came up with a completely different truck. Any suggestions?

Don’t go by that decoder. It told me that my truck has a Heavy Duty Payload Pkg. It doesn't.
The chart in this link will allow you to see the maximun the truck is rated for.

Have you tried contacting your dealer from Canada?

Thanks for your reply. The truck was already used and I bought it at a Kia store.
I had a lot of trouble with those guys and I dont think that they would give me those informations if I asked them.
