Lepton Flavor Universality Violation (LFUV) in $B$ decays in both neutral $b\rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ and charged $b\rightarrow cl\bar{ \nu}_{ l}$ processes observed in the ratios $R_{ K^{ (*)}}$ and $R_{ D^{ (*)}}$ is investigated in the framework of a model based on the extended symmetry gauge $SU(3)_{ C}\otimes SU(3)_{ L}\otimes U(1)_{ X}$ whose leptonic sector consists of five triplets. It is shown that in order to explain the experimentally observed deviations from the Standard Model in these flavor changing transitions, a non-minimal version of the model has to be considered. We investigate the ability of this model in accommodating the model-independent scenarios currently favored by global fits.
