Enter a 17-character VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture for your GMC Sierra 1500. It is free and needs no registration. Our data for the model holds 31 versions, with model years from 1988 to the present, Coupe as the listed body style, and power from 126 to 420 hp.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot say anything about those. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a truck you are looking at, compare the VIN with the registration papers, check that the tenth character fits the stated model year, and check that the cab and bed match the version being advertised.

The decoder gives you the manufacturer, model year and country, which helps you narrow down our listed versions, such as the GMT400 Regular cab SWB Wideside or the GMT900 Crew Cab Short Box. It does not name the version itself, so confirm that with the cab and bed on the truck and the details in the papers.
All 17 characters must match exactly, and none of them can be I, O or Q. The tenth character should fit the model year on the documents, and the eleventh points to the plant. Be aware that the ninth character is a check digit that North American VINs must carry, while many European VINs fill it differently.
It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also does not tell you the exact power of a given truck, even though our data for the model spans 126 to 420 hp.
