If it was manufacturer installed, and you can read the manufacturer’s codes, the answer is yes. Try calling the dealer. ---

There isn’t a specific digit in the VIN to identify an option like that. Dealers have access to the full list of sales codes/options for each VIN for vehicles beginning in the mid '90s. I don’t recall the last year the “Chief” package was offered, I suspect your are referring to a 1970s Jeep. In that case you will have to rely on a service like Galen Govier’s who has obtained old manufacture records for certain vehicles. ---

A dealer can tell you what the options and standard equipment are by VIN. However, I have never seen a late model “Chief”. Is this a dealer installed package on a Laredo (base model)? The Limited and Overland both come with a sunroof as standard equipment. If you have access to the vehicle it is easy to identify an aftermarket sunroof, the is a frame around the sunroof on the exterior surface to conceal the cut marks. The roof panel with a factory sunroof has a flush opening with a right angle in the sheet metal at the sunroof opening. ---

Yeah, not heard of any new “Chiefs”. ---
