5 Ways On How You Can Find Trim Color Code for Ford F-150
Here are five ways to help you easily find Ford F-150 Trim color codes:
1. Check the Driver's Side Door Jamb
In Ford vehicles, including the F-150, the trim color code is usually abbreviated as "INT" for interior trim or "TR" for trim on the identification sticker. This sticker is located on the driver's side door jamb, the vertical section of the frame where the door closes.
When you open the driver’s door, look directly at this area to find the sticker, which contains essential vehicle information. Among the details listed is the trim color code, specifying the exact color used for your vehicle's interior.
2. Look in the Glove Box
The glove box is a small compartment built into the dashboard on the passenger side of your vehicle. It’s commonly used to store vehicle documents, such as the owner’s manual and small personal items. In some Ford F-150 models, you might find a sticker inside the glove box that lists the trim code.
3. Consult Your Owner's Manual
The owner's manual is a booklet provided with your vehicle that contains detailed information about its features, maintenance schedules, and other important data, including trim level details. It is typically found in the glove box when you purchase the vehicle.
If you've lost your owner's manual, you can usually obtain a replacement by ordering one from a Ford dealership or downloading a digital version from the Ford website.
4. Use a VIN Decoder
A VIN decoder is a tool that interprets the unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your vehicle.
The VIN is a unique 17-character code assigned to every vehicle manufactured. It acts like a vehicle’s fingerprint. For the Ford F-150, you can usually find the VIN on a plaque located on the driver’s side dashboard, visible through the windshield from outside the vehicle. It’s also on the vehicle registration and insurance documents.
Each VIN is unique to an individual vehicle and provides information about the car, such as its manufacturer, model year, and key features. Online VIN decoders can help you pull specific data about your vehicle, potentially including trim and color details.
4. Examine the Manufacturer’s Label
The manufacturer's label on your Ford F-150 is typically found in the same area as the sticker on the door jamb or under the hood on the engine bay’s firewall. This label includes various details about the vehicle, including paint codes and other specifications relevant to the vehicle’s manufacturing details.
