Tried looking at a few things on the screen. IMO this is a joke. I took the manual to a local print shop. $40 and they printed it, 2 sided, 5.5x7. Put it in a spiral binding, with clear plastic covers front and back. They had to make two books, which are 1 inch thick each. It's nice to read through, make notes, etc. That's what I did to my Bronco today.

What I like about both the screen (vehicle) version and the pdf version you can download is the hyperlinks that help you navigate to where you want to go. The search is not perfect, but better than just looking in an index… IMO

I really like having the pdf version downloaded on my phone, and use the search function of the pdf viewer app to find what I'm looking for, but keeping a printed copy in the glove box to make notes in is a great idea too.

I went to the dealer and ordered the old school hard copy of the manual - $90, but I like the traditional print version.

Hopefully you didn't print the 70 pages of data privacy, useless customer information, and a few blank pages in between. 🤣

Got mine here. Best place to buy an owner's manual is helminc which charges much less than the dealers.

What I don't like is why can't the electronic versions of the owners manual be tailored to the specific content of the owner's Bronco. Meaning a 2-door version and a separate 4-door version. Then with a manual transmission and a version with just the automatic. If 4-door and MIC top, then nothing about the soft top, etc. Include the content for mid, high, and lux packages if the VIN has those options.

I get when all was provided was a printed copy, the manual needed to include everything, but today in a CAD/CAM world and .pdf documents the information should be matched to vehicle content by VIN.

If I decide to print the owners manual, I'll use Adobe Pro to cut all the non-content parts out I don't need.
