Vin number question
It seems that where ever I go when I use my vin the trim is different. Anyone run into this?
auto zone it comes up an xl
State farm it comes up as a lariat
Ford says it's a xlt.

when i added my 23 to my insurance it comes up as xl, stx, xlt, lariat, tremor, platinum, raptor as in all trims.
when I asked why my agent just said thats how they do it now. I said a XL is cheaper to insure then a raptor so am I getting billed as a raptor on my XLT??? she had no answer.

So, a little different, I got rear ended a couple weeks ago and the damage was minimal - rear bumper, back up sensor, .. (luckily, no other damage than bumper). Quoted $1,700 ish for OEM replacement/install all covered by other person's insurance. The Body Shop ordered the parts using my VIN. Install day comes along and the bumper received was a 2 piece bumper, BUT my bumper is 1 piece. Easy issue/mistake, but the VIN says 2 piece and my truck has 1 piece. Call Ford and their answer was I must have replaced the bumper, has to be 2 piece because its a 24 and only 1 piece bumpers were used. Hell, the truck has 2,300 miles on it and I did not replace the bumper. They are struggling to get a resolution.
Wonder if its because I ordered it last September and its one of those trucks that started production Jan 18, 2024, but sat in limbo until the summer and I finally got it in June???
Just weird.

Parts catalog error, that happens A LOT. My April build 24 also has a 1 piece

Makes sense, just odd that Ford took such an aggresive stance on it being the owner replacing the bumper and not something on their end. I am sure it will get figured out, just want the truck back. Luckily I have a 3rd toy car to drive on sunny days (got my fingers crossed the weather stays nice here until I get it back).
