A build sheet is the factory record of exactly how your vehicle was ordered and assembled. Unlike a window sticker, which is a marketing-oriented summary, the build sheet lists every equipment code the plant recorded against your VIN. FCA vehicles (RAM, Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler) organize this data into a few consistent sections. Once you know what each section means, the sheet becomes easy to read.
The main sections
Our lookup tool splits an FCA build sheet into four groups:
- Vehicle details — the basics: model year, make, model type, and build date. This is your vehicle's identity at a glance.
- Standard equipment — everything included with the trim at no extra cost. This is usually the longest section.
- Optional equipment — factory options that were added when the vehicle was ordered: packages, upgraded engines, tow groups, tech bundles, and so on.
- Dealer-installed equipment — accessories added by the dealer rather than the factory, such as running boards, tonneau covers, or protection packages.
Reading an equipment line
Each equipment item has two parts: a code and a description. The code is FCA's internal sales code (for example, a three-character alphanumeric like AHC or GWA), and the description is the human-readable name. Items are grouped by equipment class — a label that tells you the category, such as brakes, seats, or wheels. Seeing the code matters because two vehicles can share a description but differ in the exact code, which is where our comparison tool highlights differences.
Why the codes matter
Option codes are the most precise way to confirm what a vehicle actually has. Descriptions can be generic, but a sales code maps to a specific part or package. If you are buying a used truck and the seller claims it has a factory tow package, the presence of the corresponding code on the build sheet is your proof. For a glossary of the codes you are most likely to see, read our Mopar option codes guide.
Build sheet vs. window sticker
People often use these terms interchangeably, but they are different documents produced for different purposes. We cover the distinctions in Window Sticker vs. Dealer Sticker vs. Build Sheet. In short: the build sheet is the raw factory record, while the window sticker (Monroney label) is the consumer-facing pricing summary.
How to pull yours
Enter your 17-character VIN into our build sheet lookup. The tool queries the manufacturer's equipment database and returns all four sections, which you can print or export to CSV for your records.
