I got my Helm OM in June 21, gave me something to study until my Bronco showed up in November. Fits nicely in the glove box.

Well, I guess I was not the only bronco owner upset…thanks to everyone with your comments. Ordered the book yesterday. Now I will go look for my door code.

Just ordered mine too. Even though I have a 22 the MY21 book will be fairly accurate. Again, it's a paper thing............

Because it's no longer 1922,.... It's 2022.
Don't tell me you'd rather use an encyclopedia over google??
I'm with the OP. If I need a copy one day, I want a paper copy. What if you don't have the PDF accessible your phone? What if the car is dead?

Send my warranty, etc... electronically. But I need a paper copy of the thing I will refer to in a pinch.

What about a dead battery situation ? The whole nobody wants a paper owners manual is simply not true for everyone. I want one, I like the digital version, but a hard copy is a nice thing to have.

Being old school and that I like reading books and owners manuals cover to cover I was really disappointed that there is no physical owners manual. Finding stuff on the screen just sucks.

Yeah, I like a hard copy., but I get reasons why they don't provide one now, cost savings for 1. It's the standard going forward, so that's what it is now.

Mine was in the truck when it rolled in on the trailer... Saw it in the front seat, told the GM of the dealership, I've seen it... I know it was in the truck when it came off the trailer... Expect it to be in the truck when I pick it up, along with Key #2, and the door code which was also in the paperwork package. My first Bronco 6g was missing all of that.

I'm happy today.

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.
Mine came with the manuals in the glove compartment, so that's not true. If it were an option to do away with them, I'm sure some dealers would, but I feel like that's more of a factory option. Like I said though I received physical copies, which I prefer. I love my Bronco, but I'm not sitting in the car to look through the manual on screen. Yes, it's 2022, but its called a preference.

Great points...guess I'm old school. I like the physical news paper vs online as well. To each his/her own. Thanks.
Nothing at all wrong with that. People act like its a sin to not want to use the internet :rolleyes:

You get a PDF owners manual thanks to some MBA at Ford who drives a leased Lexus.
