The rating plate has that information it is not encoded in the VIN. You can find information to decode the rating plate in OEM manuals and on Mil1ion's website.

There is only the info on the buck tags that state Trim codes.

You can post the Body code on the rating plate for me to look at though.
ie:RB4

Do you have pics of the truck?
I can tell Trim levels just by looking at interiors.


Does it have chrome mouldings that wrap around the wheelwells before meeting at the side marker light and the truck is 2-tone paint?

Are there map pockets on the bottom of the door panels ?

Does the truck have a hood ornament ?

The truck does have map pockets at the door panel bottoms. It also has a bucket style bench seat which has a center console. The seats don't tilt front to back, there is no mechanism for this that I saw. The console is more like a swing down/up armrest.

It also used to have 2 tone paint. The previous owner had it painted all one color. It has the trim on the sides, but not around the wheels, I think he removed it.

Sounds like the seat has been upgraded also.

Also what about the emblems on the truck or did he remove those too because in the interior it usually says on the glove box custom, ranger, ranger xlt or ranger lariat also if it has wood grain trim and on the outside of the truck it says F-150 or whatever model your truck is F-250/350 then it either says custom, ranger, ranger xlt or lariat below it

Exactly Dustin,.

Just his question makes me feel the truck is not of those trim lines.
