A RAM VIN is the vehicle's unique 17-character identification number. Modern vehicles sold in the United States use this standardized identifier to distinguish one vehicle from another.
A RAM VIN decoder reads that sequence and converts it into useful vehicle information, such as the model year, engine, body configuration, manufacturer, and assembly details.
You can also use a VIN lookup before buying a used RAM to confirm whether the vehicle's advertised specification matches the VIN. For a RAM pickup, this can be especially useful when checking the engine, drivetrain, body configuration, or factory build before comparing listings.
Older records may reference Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) or FCA US LLC in connection with RAM manufacturer information. You may also encounter the older Dodge RAM name when researching trucks produced before RAM became a standalone brand.
Decoding a RAM vehicle identification number (VIN) takes only a few steps:
Your RAM VIN appears in several places on the vehicle and its paperwork.
Compare the VIN in more than one location when inspecting a used vehicle. The characters should match across the dashboard, door label, and paperwork.
Our RAM VIN decoder checks a VIN against 6,278,251 RAM records. This is one of the youngest fleets in our database – 6.6 years old on average against 11.4 for Honda, with a median last recorded reading of 31,207 miles – and one of the cleanest: 7.2% carry a problem in their history. The pressure point is elsewhere: 13.52 NHTSA recall campaigns per model year, and 89.2% of these trucks are pickups.
| Indicator | Value |

| RAMs in the database | 6,278,251 |
| Data as of | August 2026 |
| Average age | 6.6 years |
| Median last recorded mileage | 31,207 miles |
| Average mileage per year | 12,577 miles |

| Salvage title | 4.5% |

| Odometer reported as not actual | 0.9% |
| Flood damage | 0.2% |

| Figure | What it is | What to do about it |
|---|---|---|
| 7.2% | Carry a problem record – the second-lowest of the 46 makes in our database, after Genesis | A young fleet accumulates fewer records by construction: the average RAM here is 6.6 years old against 11.4 for Honda. Low odds are not zero odds, and 4.5% still carry a salvage title. |
| 13.52 | NHTSA recall campaigns filed for those model years, the highest of any non-electric make | A count for the model year, not for one truck. Run the VIN against RAM and the NHTSA directly before the test drive. |
| 89.2% | Are pickups; 6.1% cargo vans, 1.6% chassis cabs | Work history matters more than mileage on a truck. Check the build sheet for tow package, axle ratio, and payload before you compare two listings on price. |
| 23.9% | Run on diesel; 76.0% gasoline | Nearly one RAM in four is a diesel, and the engine changes what the service history should look like. Confirm the engine from the VIN rather than from the badge. |
| 16.8% | Have moved between states – twice the rate of Toyota | Trucks travel, and crossing state lines is also how a branded title turns into a clean one. Check where the truck was titled, not only where it is sold. |
| State | Share |
|---|---|
| Texas | 12.9% |
| Florida | 6.6% |
| California | 6.5% |
| Michigan | 4.6% |
| Ohio | 4.6% |
Texas alone holds 12.9% of the RAMs in our database – nearly double any other state, and a working-truck market rather than a commuter one. Michigan and Ohio trucks spend winters on salted roads, so frame and brake-line corrosion belong on the inspection list even when the history is clean.
| Type | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Collision | 4.8% | Covers everything from a bumper strike to frame damage – on a body-on-frame truck, the frame is what matters, and that comes from the photos, not the label. |
| All Over | 0.5% | Damage across multiple panels: hail, vandalism, or a heavy multi-point impact. Most often followed by a total-loss decision. |
| Rollover | 0.3% | Rare and structural. On a tall vehicle, it deserves a closer look at the roofline and door gaps. |
| Fire / Burn | 0.3% | Higher than flood on RAM. Check the engine bay photos and the wiring loom. |
| Water / Flood | 0.2% | The lowest of the damage types here, and the one where a repaired truck is usually worth walking away from. |
Run the RAM VIN decoder and read the damage line before the seller's description.
| Issue | Affected Models, Symptoms, Average Repair Cost |
|---|---|
| Tailgate actuator failure | 2014–2018 Ram 1500 (50k–80k mi); tailgate will not open/close. ≈ $400 replacement |
| Transmission shift solenoid | 2019–2021 Ram 2500/3500 Cummins (60k–100k mi); rough shifting. ≈ $500 replacement |
| A/C evaporator leak | 2013–2016 Ram 1500 (40k–70k mi); weak or no A/C. ≈ $650 parts & labor |
A RAM VIN is divided into three main sections: the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI), Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS), and Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS).
For RAM trucks, a VIN beginning with 1C6 identifies a RAM truck assembled in the United States. Manufacturer records may also reference FCA US LLC, linked to the former Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) organization.
Here is how the RAM VIN decoder reads the sample VIN 1C6RR6PT4GS347577:
| Position | Sample | What it identifies |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | 1C6 | World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) |
| 4 | R | Vehicle specification code, including brake/GVWR-related identification |
| 5–7 | R6P | Additional Vehicle Descriptor Section information |
| 8 | T | Engine code |
| 9 | 4 | VIN check digit |
| 10 | G | Model-year code |
| 11 | S | Assembly-plant code |
| 12-17 | 347577 | Vehicle production sequence / serial number |

A RAM VIN decoder can identify the vehicle's original specification and help you verify whether a listing matches the truck or van in front of you.
Depending on the vehicle and available data, the decode can show:
For many RAM vehicles, the VIN decode can also help reconstruct part of the build sheet. Where you need factory options beyond the information encoded directly in the VIN, Mopar or a RAM dealer may be able to provide additional original vehicle documentation.
The free RAM VIN decoder focuses on vehicle identification and basic specifications. A full history report can add recorded accident events, title information, mileage history, auction photos, sales records, and other VIN-linked data.
Enter the 17 characters in the RAM VIN decoder above. It returns model year, engine, plant, trim, and body style for any of the 6,278,251 RAM records in our database – 56.4% of them assembled in the United States, 41.3% in Mexico, and 1.5% in Turkey.
For many trucks, yes. The decode reconstructs the factory build sheet – trim, engine family, drivetrain, axle, and options – from the VIN itself. It matters here because 89.2% of these vehicles are pickups, where the build defines the truck.
Run the VIN through the decoder above, then read the configuration section. For factory options beyond the VIN, Mopar and the dealer can pull the original window sticker.
Yes – the VIN decodes the same way whichever badge the truck carries. The World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) in the first three characters identifies the builder and the plant: a VIN opening with 1C6 is a RAM truck assembled in the United States.
On 7.2% of RAMs – the second-lowest of the 46 makes in our records, after Genesis. Salvage titles account for 4.5%, odometer issues 1.7%, fire 0.3%, and flood 0.2%.
