Why no physical owners manual?

[Power Man]

Am I the only one that has a problem with not receiving a Bronco Manual in there glove compartment. My dealer tells me they are only on the screen…did not even get my door code.

I was expecting this, but I received a printed copy as well.
It's kind of the fault of the digital age thing & rising cost of printing. Printed vehicle brochures are becoming a thing of the past now as well

Can't remember the link but it's available free on line for download then you can print it.

Because they are cheap bastards. I ordered one from Helm because the one built into the radio sucks.

Cost cutting of course! But, You can get a PDF version free from Ford. Just select on the Documents tab under Past Printings. It is only 562 Pages!

I just tried this link. This is not for an owners manual but rather the supplement as is stated after you click the link.

I too like having the 200 page manual but do not see that anywhere.

Supposedly the door master code is on a piece of paper affixed to the front of the fuse box, located behind the driver’s side panel under the steering wheel. Pull down from the top to release the clips and the whole panel has a hinge on the bottom.

As for the Owners manual, you can download a PDF version to a laptop or tablet here:

I wonder if your dealer ordered them using some of the customer satisfaction funds, instead of using it on swag...

Because it's no longer 1922,.... It's 2022.
Don't tell me you'd rather use an encyclopedia over google??

Because nobody wants or needs a paper copy in the year 2021. Because the version on the head unit is searchable and works great. Because you can get a PDF version on that thing in your pocket in a matter of seconds if needed.

The dealer gave me a $500 Amex gift card at the Bronco Off-Roadeo so who knows
Ford also gave me $250 to spend in the swag shop

Because nobody wants ... a paper copy in the year 2021.

Apparently the OP & I disagree. There might be a few more of old school guys around here as well

I think you can order one from the Sears catalog...
