Hello everyone,

Sorry, this is old but I've just found a 2020 Laramie at dealers lot about 200 miles(in different state) from me with almost similar build I want and it shows 0726 on window sticker(pic attached). Does this mean it was built on July 26, 2019 n still haven't sold? MSRP is $63k plus and dealer agreed at $49k(include taxes and fees). Just wondering if I should go ahead buy it, or cancel it since manufacturer date is old? Please help

Thanks

Hey guys:

Anyone know ow to determine the build date based on the VIN? Or is there something else on the window sticker? The VIN decoder I looked at doesn't list any of the numbers as the build date that I could see.

Thanx guys..
On the manufacturers label which is located on the drivers door jamb, the DATE OF MFR (BUILT) lists the month and year only. When the vehicle left final assembly is noted as MDH (month/day/hour).

In the example included this vehicle was built in March of 2018, and reached final assembly on March 15 in the 2nd hour of the shift day.

Best regards,
Dusty
