Default How to explain which model Jeep I have

Hi there

I have a 2013 Grand Cherokee which is actually the MY14 model. (With the new headlights, etc)
Whenever I'm chasing quotes for parts or whatever and people ask for the year I say 2013 but they always bring up the older model first. (I think Jeep sold the older ones early 2013 and changed to the newer ones late 2013)
What is the best and most definitive way to describe which model I have so I get the right parts?
Should I just say it is 2014?

Thanks in advance.

Model year can be identified with the tenth digit of the VIN.

A - 2010
B - 2011
C - 2012
D - 2013
E - 2014
F - 2015
G - 2016
Etc...

Just think about it MY (model year) 14, it might have been built in 2013 but it’s a MY14, simplies. I just wish filter manufacturers were that smart

Mine was built in 2015 but first registered in 2017 so still has new car warranty, that confuses the hell out of people.

I have an earlier 2013 and when needing parts etc. always refer to model year MY13 (which ran from Oct '12 - Jul '13) not the build date. It's best to do that for any year that had a model change part way through. MY14's began in mid 2013.
