Truck Bed Size By Vin

The vehicle identification number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code that is assigned to every car, truck, and motorcycle manufactured in the United States. The VIN contains a wealth of information about the vehicle, including its make, model, year of manufacture, and engine size. It can also be used to determine the size of the truck bed.

The VIN is located in several places on the vehicle, including the driver's side door jamb, the dashboard, and the engine block. It is also printed on the vehicle's registration card and insurance card.

To determine the size of the truck bed, you will need to locate the VIN and then decode it. The following steps will help you decode the VIN:

The first character of the VIN indicates the country of origin.
The second character indicates the manufacturer.
The third character indicates the vehicle type.
The fourth character indicates the body style.
The fifth character indicates the engine size.
The sixth character indicates the model year.
The seventh character is a check digit.
The eighth character indicates the assembly plant.
The ninth character is a check digit.
The tenth character indicates the model year.
The eleventh character indicates the sequential production number.
The twelfth character is a check digit.
The thirteenth character indicates the body style.
The fourteenth character indicates the engine size.
The fifteenth character indicates the model year.
The sixteenth character is a check digit.
The seventeenth character is a check digit.

Once you have decoded the VIN, you can use the following chart to determine the size of the truck bed:

| VIN Character | Truck Bed Size | |---|---| | 10 | Short bed (6.5 feet) | | 11 | Standard bed (8 feet) | | 12 | Long bed (8.5 feet) |

If the VIN character is not listed in the chart, then the truck bed size is not available.

In addition to the VIN, you can also use the following methods to determine the size of the truck bed:

Measure the truck bed from the tailgate to the front of the cab.
Look for a label on the truck bed that indicates the size.
Check the vehicle's owner's manual.

Knowing the size of the truck bed is important when choosing a truck that will meet your needs. If you need to haul large items, then you will need a truck with a long bed. If you only need to haul small items, then you can get by with a short bed.
