Ford Explorer's VIN is located on the frame rail under the passenger seat. Here is more information about VIN: 1. A vehicle's VIN consists of 17 characters, with each car having a unique VIN that reflects the country of manufacture, vehicle specifications, etc. The commonly used North American standard is quite strict and also compatible with the EU's ISO3799 standard. The VIN, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number, is composed of letters and numbers and serves as the vehicle's ID. 2. The first three digits indicate the manufacturer, brand, and type of the vehicle. The first digit represents the country/region of manufacture, the second digit represents the manufacturer, and the third digit represents the vehicle type. 3. Digits four to eight provide detailed information about the vehicle category, engine type, rated weight, etc. 4. The ninth digit is a check digit, which is the same for all brands. 5. The tenth digit indicates the model year of the vehicle. For example, 2001 is represented by 1, 2002 by 2, and after 9, it starts with the letter A until Z, then repeats. 6. The eleventh digit represents the assembly plant where the vehicle was manufactured. 7. The last six digits are the vehicle's production serial number.
