Vin decoder question

Hay guys, I plugged in two different vehicles F450 cab and chassis, so commercial trucks likely, and the vin decoder says invalid entries for both. Not sure if I am truly having issues with those provided by owners, or if the system does not apply to certain commercial trucks ... anyone had similar findings ?

Online VIN decoders shouldn't be considered to be reliable. Their results are only as good as the data they have available to draw from. If the available data is incomplete or incorrect, the results will be sketchy.

For the most part what was displayed for my 04 was pretty accurate compared to what another member looked up for me. His list was a lot more thorough though.
