For full factory configuration details including internal equipment codes and package identifiers, use the official build sheet lookup below.
What Is a RAM Build Sheet?
A build sheet is a detailed factory production record that lists the exact components and equipment installed on a vehicle at the time it was assembled.
Unlike a window sticker, which focuses on pricing and consumer facing features, the build sheet includes:
- Internal option and sales codes
- Package identifiers
- Axle ratios
- Paint and interior trim codes
- Engine and transmission build data
- Suspension and drivetrain configuration
Build Sheet vs Window Sticker
- Window Sticker: MSRP, trim, EPA fuel economy, standard and optional equipment
- Build Sheet: Complete factory configuration with detailed equipment codes
If you are looking for original pricing information, see the dedicated RAM Window Sticker Lookup page.
Want the RAM Window Sticker Too?
Build sheets and VIN decoding give you deep factory configuration details; but if you are looking for original pricing information, trim, and consumer facing option details, the window sticker is where that lives.
The RAM Window Sticker by VIN lookup tool lets you instantly retrieve the official factory Monroney label PDF using your VIN. That sticker includes:
- Original MSRP and destination charge
- Standard and optional equipment as presented to buyers
- EPA fuel economy estimates
- Government safety information
- Trim, colors, and package breakdowns
This complements the build sheet, which focuses on internal equipment codes and configurations used on the assembly line.
How to Decode a RAM VIN
Every RAM vehicle has a unique 17 character Vehicle Identification Number that reveals production details.
RAM VIN Structure Explained
- 1st Character: Country of origin (1 = United States, 3 = Mexico, 2 = Canada)
- 2nd Character: Manufacturer identifier (C = Chrysler / RAM)
- 3rd Character: Vehicle type or division
- 4th–8th Characters: Model, body style, engine, restraint system
- 9th Character: Check digit for validation
- 10th Character: Model year code
- 11th Character: Assembly plant
- 12th–17th Characters: Sequential production number
Common RAM Model Year Codes
- L = 2020
- M = 2021
- N = 2022
- P = 2023
- R = 2024
- S = 2025
VIN year codes repeat every 30 years, but modern RAM trucks use the current cycle.
Common RAM Assembly Plants
- W = Warren Truck Assembly Plant (Michigan)
- S = Saltillo Truck Assembly (Mexico)
- G = Saltillo Van Assembly
- R = Windsor Assembly (Canada)
The 11th character identifies where your vehicle was physically built.

Can I decode my RAM VIN without the build sheet?
