Qu’est-ce qu’un VIN pour Freightliner ?

Freightliner started as a way for Consolidated Freightways to get around strict vehicle length laws. By building the cab over the engine, the carrier could use longer trailers, increasing cargo capacity while still meeting regulations. Freightliner started selling trucks to other companies in the 1950s, and by the 1970s, it was a separate company from CF. Daimler-Benz bought Freightliner in 1981, putting it in control of their North American commercial vehicle divisions. From there, they acquired Oshkosh, American LaFrance, Thomas Built, Western Star, Detroit Diesel and Ford’s heavy duty truck division. By consolidating these operations, they have a presence in nearly every commercial truck segment, including chassis cabs for RVs, school buses, fire trucks and both medium and heavy-duty tractors. They even sold Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans through their dealer network in the 2000s.

Do you need an affordable work truck? Would a used Sprinter be perfect for an overland conversion? Whether you’re looking at a cargo van or a Class 8 semi, visit EpicVIN before you buy. By using a VIN check, you can get the vehicle’s configuration information, including the engine and vehicle class. This makes finding the right truck a whole lot simpler. Worried you might buy a lemon? When you order a VIN report from us, you’ll get accident reports, title changes and other useful information about the truck’s history. That way, you can be confident you’re buying the right Freightliner for you.

Recherche du numéro VIN pour Freightliner

When it comes to medium and heavy-duty trucks, you have a lot of options. Even within one model line, there are different drive systems, engines, cabs, chassis lengths and GVWR capacities. The easiest way to find the right configuration is by decoding the VIN. This number isn’t just a way to identify a specific vehicle. It also contains information about where and when the truck was built, as well as the parts Freightliner used when they built it. This gives you more information than a seller is likely to include on a sales listing. It also helps you identify errors, making it easier to weed out trucks that don’t have what you’re looking for.

Où chercher le numéro d'identification du véhicule ?

There are several places where you can find this number printed on Freightliner’s trucks, rolling chassis and vans. If you’re looking at an RV based on a Freightliner chassis, be aware that the vehicle has two VIN numbers. One VIN is issued by Freightliner, while the other VIN is issued by the RV outfitter. The same goes for upfitted trucks, although it’s usually easier to pick out which VIN is for the glider or chassis, and which one is for the completed vehicle. Here are the most common places you’ll find the VIN number:

  • Look at the dashboard, next to the driver’s seat. You should see a small metal plate next to the windshield.
  • On trucks, there is an information plate or sticker above the seat belt, next to the driver’s door. This ID lists the VIN. On vans, you can usually find this plate or sticker on the step next to the driver’s door, or on the driver’s side B pillar.
  • If you have an RV, look at the wall next to the driver’s seat. There is usually a large sticker or plate with vehicle information, including the VIN. Some outfitters put this plate or sticker inside one of the closets.
  • Open the hood. Look for one or two metal tags riveted to the radiator support. At least one of these should have the VIN.

Freightliner also prints at least part of the VIN on the chassis. Most of the time, this is just the vehicle’s serial number. These digits should match up with the last characters of the VIN. Locations vary from model to model, but it’s usually close to one of the rear leaf spring mounts.

Guide complet du décodeur VIN

What do all those characters in the VIN mean? Here’s a breakdown of this identifying code, along with common characters and their meanings.

VIN Decode Guide?

The first three characters in the VIN identify the country, manufacturer and division. American made trucks usually have these codes:

CodeManufacturer
1FUComplete truck
1FVChassis cab or glider
4UVCustom chassis, mostly found on RVs

3AK and 3AL are codes for Mercedes-Benz Mexico, the manufacturer of Freightliner’s Sprinter vans.

The fourth character is the drive configuration:

CodeDrive
A4x2 truck
B4x2 truck/tractor
F6x2 truck
J6x2 truck/tractor
ZGlider

Characters 5 and 6 are the truck model, cab type and GVWR. Here are the codes for Freightliner’s most popular models:

CodeModel
AAFLB glider Class 8
A3Century Class 120 inch Class 8
AWArgosy Class 8
A5Columbia 120 inch Class 7
GLCascadia 125 inch Class 8
GACascadia 113 inch Day Cab Class 7
GP24U Coranado 122 inch Class 8

Characters 7 and 8 are the engine manufacturer and brake type. With so many possible combinations, it’s impossible to list them all here. It’s much easier to search for the VIN on our site, and use our decoder to find out which engine was installed at the factory.

Character 9 is the check digit. This verifies the rest of the VIN is correct.

Character 10 is the year the truck was built. This can be one of 30 numbers and letters. Numbers 1-9 were last used from 2001 to 2009.

CodeCountryCodeCountryCodeCountryCodeCountry
E1984R199442004E2014
F1985S199552005F2015
G1986T199662006G2016
H1987V199772007H2017
J1988W199882008J2018
K1989X199992009K2019

N199222002C2012N2022
P199332003D2013P2023

Character 11 is the manufacturing plant. With so many truck models and divisions in their portfolio, there is a long list of plants where their trucks are built.

The remaining characters in the VIN are the truck’s serial number. Serial numbers are reused, so these last 6 digits aren’t enough to identify a specific truck or chassis.

Foire aux questions

Les emplacements varient d’un constructeur à l’autre. Cependant, il y a trois endroits où vous pouvez trouver le code sur la plupart des véhicules:

- Regardez le tableau de bord à travers le pare-brise. Du côté du conducteur, vous devriez voir une petite plaque métallique sur laquelle le numéro est apposé.
- Ouvrez la porte du conducteur. Regardez à l’avant et sur le côté du montant de la porte pour trouver un autocollant d’identification. Il porte généralement le logo du fabricant. Le code doit se trouver sur cet autocollant.
- Ouvrez le capot. Vous verrez peut-être un autocollant sur la cloison pare-feu ou près de la tour de jambe de force du côté passager. Sur certaines voitures, le numéro est gravé à l’un de ces endroits.

Comme ce numéro est utilisé pour identifier le véhicule sur les documents officiels, vous pouvez également le trouver sur le titre de propriété, l’autocollant de fenêtre et sur les polices d’assurance.

Nous décodons également les numéros des véhicules récréatifs, des poids lourds et des motocyclettes. Si vous devez décoder un numéro de VR, assurez-vous qu’il s’agit de celui émis par le fabricant du châssis, et non par le fournisseur de VR.

Non. Les voitures canadiennes et mexicaines utilisent généralement le même format. Les autres pays utilisent leurs propres formats.

C’est au constructeur de déterminer ce qu’il veut inclure pour certaines parties du numéro. Par exemple, certaines entreprises n’incluent pas d’informations sur les transmissions ou les niveaux de finition.

En général, non. Quelques constructeurs estampillent le code dans le moteur. Si les numéros d’identification du moteur et de la voiture correspondent, il s’agit du moteur d’origine. Sur la plupart des véhicules, il n’y a rien qui lie un moteur à un véhicule spécifique. Tout au plus, la recherche du véhicule sur notre site web vous permettra de savoir si un autre type de moteur a été installé. Par exemple, si quelqu’un échange un V8 dans une Ford Mustang, notre site vous dira qu’elle était initialement équipée d’un V6.
