*VF — Trim Style Vf - Cl and vinyl 50/50 Bench St. This code identifies the factory seat style, upholstery, or interior trim configuration. Browse Sales Code codes →
My 2014 Grand Wagoneer has *VF: “Trim Style Vf - Cl and vinyl 50/50 Bench St. This code identifies the factory seat style, upholstery, or interior trim configuration” I am curious how this option has held up for other owners and whether it has caused any reliability, service, or parts-availability issues.

I would avoid buying retrofit parts until the connectors and module support are confirmed. Returning electronic or VIN-programmed components can be difficult.

Before buying, I would inspect the relevant component and take a photo of its label or part number. That often resolves whether the vehicle still has the factory configuration associated with *VF.

Check the production month as well as the model year. Mid-year changes are one reason two vehicles with the same badge can have different hardware or descriptions.

A clear photo of the build label, VIN report, and the relevant component would help. Do not post the full VIN publicly; the last eight characters are normally enough for a parts-counter discussion.

The wording may be abbreviated because these were originally production codes rather than consumer descriptions. “Trim Style Vf - Cl and vinyl 50/50 Bench St. This code identifies the factory seat style, upholstery, or interior trim configuration” is a reasonable plain-English reading, but the exact implementation should be verified for the 2014 model.

This sounds more like a documentation mismatch than a decoder error. Different databases often shorten the same factory description in different ways.

Good point about not posting the full VIN. I will compare the part number and connector before deciding on the retrofit.
