Default 2005 TB Wheel Base??

Hi All-

I haven't had any luck searching for my answer. Do I have the Standard or Extended Wheel Base on my vehicle?

2005 TrailBlazer EXT
4200 L6; 4 Wheel Drive
VIN: 1GNDT 1S852178981

Someplace I can look or measure? Is there a CODE which I can check against my glove box code list? Is there a master code list somewhere on the forum?

Thanks, Robes

I just answered my question. I found the TOOLS---> VIN Decoder. I have the Standard 113 inch.
Thanks me...

I would like to know what EXT stands for because it's also listed as trim code LS, to which that is what parts personnel ask for.

I have never come across any explanation for EXT any where that I've looked, not in the owners manual either, that I see. Yet here is my owners manual:

if you measure from front wheel center cap to rear wheel center cap do you get 113"?

I measured it, it's 113" which is not the extended wheel base. The VIN decoder also stated it was 113".

I did find a blurb on the EXT saying indeed it was the extended wheel base & also came with a 3rd row bench seat in back. Mine does not have the 3rd row seat either. I guess somehow the wrong owner manual was given to this TB.
