Start with a name your team will recognize. Most fleets use the unit number painted on the truck. Click the **Vehicle Name** box to fill in the name.
The VIN is the 17 character ID on the door sticker and the registration. Click the **VIN/SN** box to fill it in.
Fleetio can look up the truck's details from its VIN, so you don't have to fill them in by hand. Click **Decode**.
This VIN matches several versions of the F-150. Pick the one that matches your truck. Click **4x4 XL 4dr SuperCrew 6.5 ft. SB**.
