About the RAM 2500/3500

Enter the 17 characters of a RAM 2500/3500 VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and with no registration. Our data for this model covers 12 versions across the Regular Cab, Crew Cab, Crew Cab Long and Mega Cab lines, model years 2010 to present, with a Wagon body style and power from 350 to 410 hp.

A VIN carries no accident history, mileage, theft record or owner details, and the decoder does not read the cab version or the engine output from it. When you are looking at a car, compare the decoded model year and manufacturer with the registration papers and the plate, and for the events a VIN cannot show you would need a paid vehicle history report.

Frequently asked questions

In which years was the RAM 2500/3500 built?

Our data lists model years 2010 - present across 12 versions of the RAM 2500/3500. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.

Which VIN character shows the model year of a RAM 2500/3500?

It is the 10th character. For the RAM 2500/3500 the characters to expect are 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).

How many versions of the RAM 2500/3500 are in your data?

12 versions, in 1 body style, with power up to 410 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.

How can I confirm which RAM 2500/3500 version a car is from its VIN?

The decoder gives the manufacturer, model year and country, but it does not spell out a version name such as Crew Cab II (DT) or Mega Cab I (facelift 2013). Take the model year from the 10th character, then match it against what you can see on the car, such as the cab type, and against the version named in the papers.

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

All 17 characters must be identical and in the same order, and none of them should be I, O or Q. The 10th character should agree with the model year in the registration, and on a North American vehicle the 9th character is a check digit that has to be valid.

What will the decoder not tell me about a RAM 2500/3500?

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also does not report the exact power output, so the 350 to 410 hp range in our data is something to check against the vehicle documents.
