VIN decoder
I recently bought a 1996 BRONCO, and have been trying to find somewhere I can get a breakdown on mt truck by the VIN number. I have done a search here but come up with sites that decode up to 1980. I want as much information as I can get, such as axle gearing, springs load and any options that might be on the truck. Any help would be greatly appreciated

None of the specific info you mentioned is in the VIN - it's in the codes on the door sticker. Post a good pic of that sticker, or type in all the codes and the VIN (you can leave off the last 4 digits) and we'll decode them.

Thanks so much for all the help. I am new to owning a full size truck, have owned Jeeps in the past. I am enjoying my Bronco so far and hope to continue to do the same. With a site and useful information that I have gotten here, I don't see how it cannot be a good experience.
Thanks again
