Decode a 17-character VIN to manufacturer-supplied vehicle metadata via NHTSA's
Decode a 17-character VIN to manufacturer-supplied vehicle metadata via NHTSA's vPIC database. Returns identity (year, make, model, trim, series, body class, manufacturer), assembly plant (city, state, country), engine (cylinders, displacement, HP, fuel type, configuration, engine model), transmission (style, speeds), and body/weight specs. Curated to the ~30 fields agents actually use from vPIC's ~140-field response. Backed by NHTSA.gov; data is public-domain US government records.
Paid test badge: not yet. The checks above are free: we call the tool without paying and read the payment request it sends back. The Verified badge needs paid calls whose answers match the promised output, and nobody can buy a badge.
