Rear Struts Blown

I am still confused. Just because it is a 4wd how does that make it a SSV without being a 5W4 on a 2012? Maybe someone can clarify this for me as I was told it had to be a 5W4 to be a SSV which my 2013 is which is also a Commercial?

I posed this question on a different thread, as I was told by both the previous owner and my local dealership that it was a PPV. I put up the VIN and RPO, and people here much more knowledgeable than I concluded that it was an SSV... I was just as confused as you are

So if they say it is a PPV then where is the RPO code for PPV? This gets more confusing by the post? How can any of this be without the correct RPO codes to back it up????? In 2012 it can NOT be a 4wd and be a PPV! NOT possible! They did not offer a 4wd PPV until somewhere around 2015 I think?

You're correct, PPV 4wd wasn't offered until 2015. Neither the dealership or previous owner bothered looking up any RPO or VIN #. I didn't even realize it wasn't a PPV until I started working on it and researching parts and things. When I contacted the previous owner, he said that it was listed as PPV in the govt auction he bought it from. Probably a typo mistake

So I am beginning to think it is indeed a Government ordered vehicle but without the SSV RPO it would not be a Special Service Vehicle and it does not have the 5W4 RPO either which would also show it to be a SSV. I think it is simply a 4wd ordered by a government agency? Maybe some of the smarter people who can better figure out all the RPO codes can clues us in to exactly what your truck is based on the actual RPO codes?

OK so after looking at all the RPO codes the vehicle is neither a PPV nor an SSV. It is a Gov ordered 4wd Fleet vehicle from what I am reading? Just trying to get a complete understanding of these codes and SSV's since mine is a SSV, a 5W4 and a Commercial vehicle.
