What a Dodge VIN tells you
Every Dodge built since 1981 has a 17-character VIN. The first three characters (the World Manufacturer Identifier) show who built it and where; characters 4–8 describe the model, body and engine; the 10th character is the model year; the 11th is the assembly plant; and the last six are the vehicle’s serial number.
| VIN starts with | Usually means |
|---|---|
| 2C3 | Dodge cars built in Canada (e.g. Charger, Challenger) |
| 1C4 | Dodge SUVs built in the United States (e.g. Durango) |
| 2B3 / 2D4 | Older Dodge models |
Prefixes are a general guide. The decoder above reads the full VIN for the exact details.
How to get the original Dodge window sticker
Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler, keeps original window stickers for many of its vehicles, so a sticker can often be found from the VIN, especially for newer model years.
Charger and Challenger trims
Dodge muscle cars come in many trims and packages, such as R/T, Scat Pack and SRT. The engine shown in the decoded VIN is a quick first check that a car is the trim the seller claims.
