Default Using my VIN to see what rear gear I have?

I've browsed around the web, but haven't found any way to see what rear gearing I have in my 2012 Ecoboost. Is there a way to do this with my VIN?

Thanks!

Hi

Driver door jamb sticker will have an axle code. Post it or look it up.

Example: http://www.fordf150.net/howto/decode.php

Not with your vin, but you can look on your drivers door seal, there should be a tag and somewhere on there it will say axle code... or something

Hmmmm, I just looked at it. It says L6 in the axle code. According to your link, there's no such thing.

Yep.

That's why I said look it up or post it so we can look it up

That's a 3.73 E-locker

Can be found in the towing guide, for most recent years, Page 3, among other places - example:
