I am fortunate enough for it not to be a daily driver and will be used for our fun days
Mine is my daily driver AND I get to use it for fun days!!! Coming from an 04 F350 crew dually, this thing is so awesome. As with others, I agree about #8 and #9.
looking forward to the offroadeo
You will love it. We came down to TX. Texas is so awesome. I was glad to get back for another visit even though it was short.
Not sure where you are going, but Mike Clouds and his crew in Texas are TOP NOTCH!!!

I agree paper would be nice, but the electronic manual in the screen is stored on the vehicle, so no need for internet or anything
I got a paper manual identical to the online.$35.00 from BISHKO includes shipping.Phone # 800 544 3312,Great Reading!

I'm also planning to go lux package, but that said I will never understand why people like power seats. In most cars, you set it once and never touch it again.

And in my mustang where I do move the seats to make it easier to get in and out, waiting for that slow ass motor to move its ass is so much more inconvenient than the manual seats in my Camaro.

I'm actually glad the Bronco has manual seats.

My only real gripe would be not having an owners manual. Maybe it is the way of the future, 10 miles from the house I am off the grid and often run 50 plus miles that way. It sure is nice to have the reference in the glove box.
Bought a 2023 Bronco Owners Manual off Ebay - 636 pages !!

Did your ‘71 have a three on a tree transmission?

I love the electronic manual except the keyboard for searching content does not work when you are moving.
Not to be an instigator but I downloaded the PDF and had it printed, folded and stapled at my local print ship. it was no big deal for them.

But that's just a guide to how speed control and your wipers work, not the actual owner's manual.
That's not true. It's the full manual. I used it when I wanted to change my oil to find the recommended parts, etc.

Question for you: I downloaded a PDF manual at one point, and it was different from the electronic manual in the car and online (it showed as a different version). That turned out to be a problem because it described the under-dash fuse box as being on the wrong side. Does your manual show it being under the steering wheel or behind the glove box?

Well, I’ve never been able to find it. 😕 Always figured the salesman lied to me when I complained about no printed manual in the glovebox.

Yes it did, then switched to a hurst on the floor, 302, 44 dana upfront, 9" in the rear, 2 or 3" rancho lift, 8k Ramsey on the front, rear fenders intact. Pale green with a white top
