Every Ram ProMaster (2019–2024) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the 3C6 WMI. The ProMaster is a gas van; this page shows what each character of a Ram ProMaster VIN means and gives 4 checksum-valid sample VINs you can drop straight into test fixtures. Synthetic — not real: no scraping, no real-owner data. The generator below is pre-filtered to the ProMaster.
Each sample below is built from the real 3C6 WMI and the ProMaster's descriptor, so it decodes to a Ram ProMaster of the right model year:

Worked on the sample 3C6TRVDG3KE609026 — a 2019 Ram ProMaster:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | 3C6 | Marks the VIN as Ram, built in Mexico |
| 4–8 | VDS | TRVDG | Descriptor for the ProMaster — van body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 3 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | K | Code K = 2019 |
| 11 | Plant | E | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 609026 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Ram ProMaster VIN read 3C6 — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Ram, assembled in Mexico (North America). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (TRVDG in our seed) describe the ProMaster itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the ProMaster, 2019 is code K and 2024 is code R. See the 2024 year code or the check-digit math.

A Ram ProMaster VIN is 17 characters starting with the 3C6 WMI, for example 3C6TRVDG3KE609026. Positions 4–8 describe the ProMaster, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: 3C6 is the Ram WMI, positions 4–8 are the ProMaster descriptor, position 9 verifies the VIN via a mod-11 checksum, position 10 gives the year, position 11 the plant, and 12–17 the serial. Paste any VIN into the decoder to do it automatically.
The ProMaster in our seed uses the 3C6 WMI (Mexico). Any VIN beginning with 3C6 decodes to Ram.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Ram 3C6 WMI, and carry the ProMaster's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Ram ProMaster. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
