Every street-legal vehicle or trailer is assigned a vehicle identification number, or VIN, at the point of manufacture. This tracking number can be used to look up such details as the original factory specs, ownership history, accident and theft histories and more. If you have a trailer and would like to check the VIN, you might have to do a little searching, because there is no standard location for the VIN plate on trailers.

VIN Decoder Utility - 1UYFS07 - 2006 Utility Trailer. We may process your data (IP address, browser and OS and approximate GPS location): - if required by our legal interest, for statistical purposes and to manage the web site, for the period until we complete our statistical analysis, but no longer than for 3 years since the year in which the data was acquired; - for legally. The VIN is comprised of 17 characters and is labeled as the manufacturer's serial number. Note that the VIN is different from the model number. If there is no data plate inside the trailer, check the trailer tongue, which is a series of front steel beams at the front of the trailer to which the tow hitch is attached. Apr 19, 2012 - Page 2- Trailer VIN or serial number General Discussion. Usually a vehicle identification number (VIN) or serial number for a trailer is usually found on a plate or sticker on the trailer frame, most often on the trailer's tongue. This plate will also list the brand name/manufacturer, weight capacity of the trailer and other safety-related information.
USE OF THIS SOFTWARE: VIN Decoding is based on original manufacturer's info. Any vehicle modifications or discrepancies should rely on vehicle.
Step 1
Park the trailer so you can approach it from all angles, see all its parts clearly and stoop down to look at the underside if necessary. Take along your flashlight in case you need to look in a dark area.
Step 2
Check the trailer tongue, which is the series of metal bars at the front of the trailer that attach to the trailer hitch of a vehicle.
Step 3
Check the thick, heavy bars on the frame, then check the interior of the trailer, followed by the exterior of the trailer. If you still can't find the VIN, look underneath the front and rear ends with a flashlight.
Step 4
Step 5
Call or visit a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office near you to look up the ownership history, accident history or theft history of the trailer. Most DMV offices are able to provide this service, but it is possible that you may be referred to a main office. Depending on the state in which you live, a small fee may be charged.
Call or visit a dealership operated by the manufacturer of your trailer for specific information on the factory specifications of your model. Customer policies and the types of information at these dealerships will vary, but the dealer should be able to give you an appropriate contact at the manufacturer if they do not have access to that information.
Tip
- If you need to find the VIN for a trailer that isn't conveniently accessible and you have the title, the VIN should be listed there.
Warning
- Many online VIN services do not supply vehicle reports for trailers. Make sure you know such a service offers trailer histories before paying for a report.
