The essentials, explained
As filed by GMC with NHTSA for this VIN pattern. Fields the filing does not record are left out entirely — a missing row means no recorded value, not a missing feature.
Gross vehicle weight rating is the loaded ceiling set by the manufacturer, not the car's own weight.
Put the model year in context
Explore 3 model years with VIN prefix 2GTEK19B. These are different vehicles: price differences also reflect mileage, condition, equipment and the listings available. They are not a depreciation forecast.
A 17-character VIN carries two kinds of information: what was built, and which one it is. This page is the first kind — the nine highlighted positions.
VIN positions 1 through 8 read 2GTEK19B and position 10 reads 5. Those nine characters define this build. Position 9 and positions 11 through 17 describe the check digit, assembly plant and production sequence; they are not part of this pattern.
| Positions | Characters | What they encode |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | 2GT | GENERAL MOTORS LLC · World manufacturer identifier |
| 4–8 | EK19B | Model, body style, engine and restraint system |
| 9 | × | Check digit — computed per vehicle, not part of the build |
| 10 | 5 | Model year — 2005 |
| 11 | × | Assembly plant |
| 12–17 | ×××××× | Production sequence number, unique to each vehicle |
