How do I find my Vehicle Trim Code?

Unlike the VIN, vehicle trim codes are not standardized across the industry but are generally standardized by vehicle manufacturer. Below is a general guide for the identification of your vehicles trim code.

Ford – These are almost always located on the production date sticker which is located on the inside part of the driver’s door or on the pillar of the driver’s door latching area. It will say “INT TR” and then the two digit code will be directly below it. Sometimes, it is not listed on this sticker.

GM – These are almost always located in the trunk, either on the spare tire cover (cardboard piece, lift it up), or on the inside part of the lid. Some vehicles, such as Camaro, have a tendency to be on the driver or passenger door. The one with the letter I is the interior trim. For trucks it is almost always located in the glove box. For Vans it is almost always located in one of the access panels in the rear trim piece back by the liftgate/doors. This can be on either side of the vehicle. Full size vans as well.

Chrysler/Dodge – Almost always located on the inside part of the driver’s door or on the pillar where the driver’s door latches. Identifiable by the label TRM: it is a 4 digit combination.

Honda – Almost always located on the inside part of the driver’s door or on the pillar for the driver’s door. There is a separate tag from the VIN/Prod date for Interior & Exterior color codes normally identified by Int. Color and Ext. Color.

Nissan and Mitsubishi – Check the inside of the driver’s door or pillar. There is also usually a plate attached to the firewall that has trim code information and can be identified by Color Trim.

Toyota – Almost always found on the inside of the driver’s door or pillar for the driver’s door. Normally identified by the C/TR.

KIA – Almost always found on the inside of the driver’s door or pillar for the driver’s door. Normally identified by the INT.TRIM.
