Does anyone know how to tell what specs my 2008 Limited Patriot would have. It has Navi and all the options but i'm trying to figure out the towing stuff. Doesn't have a hitch, but is there a way thru my VIN i can tell what it all would have as if it was brand new from dealer? Thanks, sorry i've been searching forever.
Thanks, my first Jeep ever and I love it! :banana:
Thanks so much, this helps some, i still want to know like what options like if it had oil cooler etc installed or what tow package. U think Jeep would be the only way to find this out?!
I do not know of any way for consumers to tell what the options are on any given vehicle.
The package includes: Engine oil cooler, trailer tow wiring harness, full-size spare
Crawl under your front bumper and look for the oil cooler above your oil filter. This thread clearly shows what to look for. That's the key element that raises tow rating from 1000 pounds to 2000 pounds.
well go figure this morning my jeep would not turn over or start. had it in 2 days after i bought it they didn't find anything, so took it to diff dealer ship today and they said battery read 44 cca instead of 525 cc amps .... so yeah not going back to the place i bought it, that's for sure.
WHen i was at this new dealer, CROWN JEEP they printed me a 2 page paper of every single thing my vehicle was made with. It was made for a chrysler executive special ordered so has everything in the world, including full size spare, oil cooler, and everything i was wondering the printout cleared up! Thanks so much for your help everyone!
Like Jim did, just go to your dealer. The parts dept can print out a breakdown by VIN as to what is EXACTLY on your Jeep.
BUT don't pay too much attention to the initial breakdown by VIN digit. It is very inaccurate. The 'three letter' option codes listed afterwards tells you everything you'll want to know.
Ok... hit the below link. Once the window sticker comes up, go to link bar and backspace the VIN that shows out and replace with your own VIN and see if that works.
