No more owners booklets/manuals?

[sarahestelle]

actually went online to look at the manuals, and yes strangely enough it works. If you VIN filter it it only gives you the information pertinent to your particular car.

That’s good to know.

No manual makes more room in the glove box.

Weight reduction mod as well.

I was told the same when I picked up my 25GT. Was sort of strange to me, but it works.

I purchased my 2024 GT Owners Manual on E-Bay.
It was around $50.00.
546 pages.
Some of the Pages are useless unless you plan on having service to your Mustang in Vietnam, South Korea, Somalia, Brazil.
The list goes on and on.

It's a digital world. No need to print the internet as they say. I used the infotainment to tell me how to program the garage door buttons, and it was surprisingly easy to look up. Easier than shuffling though a book.

What I dont get is I'm seeing hard copy manuals for sale on ebay. How did they get them? Could you buy them from Ford or something?

Apparently printed by Helm Inc and available from them also.

I got a hard copy with my Mustang with the soft Mustang case. It's only a couple of months that they canceld that just like some other features they removed from previous jobs to save money.

Interesting. We all got the soft case with some basic info inside. Just no main book. Seems like an odd cost cutting measure to do one but not the other.

But, like I said, it's all in the infotainment system and keyword are easily searchable. So not that big of a deal IMO.

I don't want to use my car battery for reading a car manual so I'm happy with the book.
But to be honest, I use my phone if I want to find something, just because I can use Hot keys to find what I'm looking for in just 1 second.

You used to be able to buy reaper manuals too, but not now! You can lease a repair manual for some brands and models, but the average cost per month is prohibitive. I suspect some of the cost is nothing more than extra profit for the manufacturer and the dealer.

No manuals and no soft case with my 2025. Zilch!

Was really disappointed to find no paper manual with my new 24. I enjoy sitting in my chair at night reading about the vehicle, not sitting in the car or on the computer. It would be fine if Ford did not provide a paper manual with the vehicle but you could call a number and give your vin and they would mail a manual to you for no charge. My new Honda came with a manual, just sayin..................................

I feel like you should be in a Progressive commercial.

I had an early order and didn't get one. I got the pouch and other materials but no owner's manual. I did get one from Helminc, the company that makes the manuals for OEM but I'm not sure if they're still making them., they've been out of stock for quite a while now.

You can sign up for a notification if they go back in stock or try to contact them. https://www.helminc.com/helm/Result...4&Category=2&Keyword=&Module=&selected_media=

@erocker probably the demand was low and when the first printing slowly sold out they didn't print more.

Searching for text in a PDF can be beneficial.

The fact that the manuals are available online and in the infotainment system is great. I can sit on my laptop and search to my heart’s content. I hated flipping through paper manuals because it was sometimes difficult to find exactly what you wanted. You usually found it, but it sometimes took quite a while. Now I can find things in seconds.
