I'm in the process of buying a used F-150 but apparently the window sticker is only available to Ford dealers now. Is there anyone who can run the VIN and get the window sticker? There's a specific option I'm looking for and the seller (non-Ford dealer) can't say for sure whether it has it, although it likely does (the feature in question is the 36 gallon fuel tank.)
Thanks in advance!

Call the ford dealer it came from, with the vin # and they'll tell you the options & equipment it came with.
You can try this site:

or Google "free VIN lookup" and there may be one that helps
I can tell you what the truck thinks it has from the factory with the vin. I would download the as-built data and compare to my spreadsheet as to what is supposed to be programmed into the BCM
What year?
Entertaining, but I tried my VIN to see how accurate the info is. A lot of generic info. It even got the gas tank size wrong, which was the question at hand. Could have been 23 (standard) or 36 (optional), but the site said 33 gallons.Quote:

This site might help?

Looks like it might use the same info as the other posted NVM
That only shows the basic model info on my truck. None of the optional equipment that's on the sticker I have, not even the HO engine that was standard on the mid year models (bought new).Quote:

Does Ford have an RPO code sticker on them like GM does ?
I was able to get all the options on the commuter 2007 Cobalt that I purchased several months ago from the RPO sticker.
You just need to photograph the sticker if it has one and look online for the codes to the options you are looking for, or know the code (s) you are looking for when you go looking at trucks.
They don't. There may or may not be a build sheet somewhere on the vehicle, but it's usually in some obscure place like above the fuel tank or under the carpet somewhere.Quote:

On my 14, you look at module code 720-01-01 in the cluster. 10th digit. If character is 2, the cluster is set to recognize the 36 gal tank
Again, I can’t say how easy this is to figure out using my above post. I bought 40 ford trucks last year and spec’d them all out using the build sheets.
If I get really bored tomorrow I can take a picture under my Ford with the 36 gallon tank and my new Ford with the 23 gallon tank to see how easy it is to tell by looking at the tanks.
Unfortunately the truck isn?t here.

Sounds like you are getting a 18...
Enter your vin here.

Scroll down to the line that is labeled 720-03-01. Compare with the following
720-03-01 xxx5 54xx xxxx 36 Gallon Tank
720-03-01 xxx3 67xx xxxx 23 Gallon Tank
720-03-01 xxx3 D9xx xxxx 26 Gallon Tank
YES! Thank you!Quote:

36 gallon tank confirmed, I think.
[Beer] Are you a Ford technician?
No. Just have to unbreak my Fords from time to time. I use the as-built info to modify module settings in modules to enable features. Using Forscan, I can enable fogs and brights at the same time, enable/disable DRL, add some audio settings, change tire size, enable secure idle, etc.Quote:
