Vin Number
Does anybody know any websites where you can put in your vin and it will tell you the exact options your truck came with? I know most of the vin codes already but I would like to see something more detailed than what I can read from the vin.

I dont think so, its very hard to even get an accurate list directly from Ford.

The door jamb sticker is about the only alternative and it doesn't tell you items like trim level. You can post that info and we can get you started, but whether it is a Lariat, XLT, XL, or work.... We couldn't tell you what other options above those levels it came with from the factory.

The VIN only gives basic info, as I'm sure you have found out. There are those that claim they've written Ford and gotten back letters. I'm not too sure that they got exactly what they wanted in those letters.

Thom- That site only works with cars... before 1997 . I'm assuming Jland is trying to decode a '97 and newer truck.

Kerry - you are correct. I did not realize this. I had used it for a car, and did not check if it had trucks. Thank you for correcting me.
