The same build, other model years

Jeep used the VIN pattern 1J8FF57W for 2 model years. Nothing but the year changes between these pages, so the price gap between them is depreciation on an identical car.

How this VIN pattern is read

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.

Positions Characters What they encode
1–3 1J8 FCA US LLC · World manufacturer identifier
4–8 FF57W Model, body style, engine and restraint system
9 × Check digit — computed per vehicle, not part of the build
10 7 Model year — 2007
11 × Assembly plant
12–17 ×××××× Production sequence number, unique to each vehicle

NHTSA safety ratings
