Enter the 17-character VIN of a Ford Ranger and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. It is free and needs no registration. Our data lists 18 Ranger versions, from the Ford Ranger I Double Cab and Super Cab to the Ford Ranger III Regular Cab (facelift 2019), with model years from 1998 to the present, since the Ranger is still built, and power from 109 to 405 hp.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, and that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a Ranger you are looking at, check that the VIN on the car matches the documents, and that the decoded model year and the stated power fit the version being offered.

Our data lists model years 1998 - present across 18 versions of the Ford Ranger. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
It is the 10th character. For the Ford Ranger the characters to expect are 3 (2003), 4 (2004), 5 (2005), 6 (2006), 7 (2007), 8 (2008), 9 (2009), A (2010), B (2011), C (2012), D (2013), E (2014), F (2015), G (2016), H (2017), J (2018), K (2019), L (2020), M (2021), N (2022), P (2023), R (2024), S (2025), T (2026).
18 versions, with power up to 405 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The decoder gives the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture, not the version name. Use the model year as a starting point, because several of our versions are marked as facelift 2009, 2015 or 2019. Then match the cab type, such as Double Cab, Super Cab, Regular Cab or Single Cab, and the power against the registration document.
Read all 17 characters and compare them one by one with the registration papers and the sales documents. The 10th character stands for the model year and the 11th for the plant, so both should make sense for the car. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if one appears, it was probably misread or copied wrongly.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also does not give you the exact version or the power of the car, so take those from the documents.
