About the Ford F-Series F-100/F-150

Enter the 17-character VIN of a Ford F-Series F-100/F-150 and the decoder shows the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data holds 36 versions, among them the F-1 I Pickup, the F-100 VI SuperCab, the F-150 IX Regular Cab and the F-150 Lightning XIV SuperCrew. Model years run from 1920 to the present, the body style is listed as Pickup, and power ranges from 95 to 700 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, and that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a truck you are looking at, compare the VIN on the plate with the one in the documents, and check that the decoded model year fits the version the seller describes.

Frequently asked questions

In which years was the Ford F-Series F-100/F-150 built?

Our data lists model years 1920 - present across 36 versions of the Ford F-Series F-100/F-150. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.

How many versions of the Ford F-Series F-100/F-150 are in your data?

36 versions, in 1 body style, with power up to 700 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.

How can I confirm which version of the F-100 or F-150 a truck is?

Decode the VIN to get the model year, then match it against the version you were told about, for example an F-100 VI Regular Cab or an F-150 IX SuperCab. The decoder reads only the VIN itself, so cab style and other details still need to be checked on the truck and in its papers.

What should I compare between the VIN plate and the documents?

Read all 17 characters on the plate and in the registration, and make sure they match exactly. Remember that I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so a character that looks like one of them is probably a 1 or a 0, or a misread. The tenth character stands for the model year, which should agree with the year in the documents.

What will the decoder not tell me?

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in a VIN. It also cannot decode trucks that do not have a 17-character VIN, since those were only used for vehicles built since 1981.
