I'm pretty sure the dealer can tell you anything off of the VIN. There are some Ford Techs on here that can tell you just how detailed. But I think the VIN tells all at the dealer.

However, if you just want the gears then this link should get you where you're going:

EDIT: You will have to read the tag on the rear diff. The link shows an example in the top pic.

To find the rear ratio, put the vehicle in neutral and mark one tire with chalk and a piece of tape on the bedside above the mark. Jack up the rear after blocking the front tires and bring a friend. Spin the tire opposite to the marked tire slowly. How ever much it rotates past the tape, is the ratio.
Example, 3 turns past the tape and about 3/4 of a revolution nearing the tape, most likely is a 3.73. Not exact science, but just compare it to a list of ratios the truck came with.
