Can VIN be decoded to tell vehicle options?

[Johnny Law]

It wasn't something I had to look at when I bough my '11 EL since all EL's have the 3.73 rear end. But optioning out a new '12 the Heavy Duty Tow Option is different and exclusive to the 3.73 option.

So according to the web site the 3.73 gears is not automatic with the Heavy Duty Towing Option. This is on the current '12 models anyhow.

Is there a way to do this with First Gen trucks?

I don't see anything that you probably don't know already.
