Paid for a 528 page owner’s manual

[denis4x4]

And at $63.50 was a bargain at twice the price! Price included FedEx delivery. Bought a 2026 Larat hybrid and really like it. In my 85 years, I’ve had at least 200 cars including hot rods and customs.

Could you post a picture of it? I'm curious about the size and how they bound it.

Having a paper manual as standard equipment is one reason I'm glad I got a '24. (But it's a pretty terrible manual.)

If I were buying a 2026 Maverick today I would make the dealership provide me with a full printed owners manual as a condition of purchasing the vehicle

I haven't cracked my paper manual since the first night I had the truck. The searchable, hyperlinked PDF resides on my phone and my laptop, and is eminently usable.

Well hi then for the three months until you get bored of it.

Same
my owner's manual is still nicely shrink wrapped in the glove compartment.
But, downloaded on my phone.

I like having it right on my phone, tablet or computer. Although I've never used it I think you can access it from the truck screen. I have a lot of user manuals on my phone for other devices. Just call me a 79 year old techie, but I also like streaming or thumb drives for my music vs CD's.

Everybody can hate me now, but here's what I'd like...

I'd like Ford to train an AI for the Maverick. I'd like a URL where I could ask the AI a question about my Maverick and have it answered perfectly every time. Which it should, if it was trained by Ford.

I purchased a manual also…. I’m learning something new, every time I open the book…. Well Worth the Price

I ask Chat GPT about BMS and it answered me about the same as manual.

That seems a little spendy to me, but then, "in the old days", mine was free when I bought the truck. However, in Ford's defense, it is obvious from the questions on this site that very few people read the manual.

In the owners manual of my past vehicles I documented things and events in the paper owners manual which stayed with the vehicle for future reference by me and the next owner

If that’s how you prefer to read, by all means ask this of your sales person

I declined a free copy offered when I bought the truck., I prefer the PDF, it’s searchable, and Ford can update it as needed..

viewing the manual through the entertainment system is a no go for me though

Yes, because we all know neither AI nor Ford ever makes a mistake.

Interesting, you obviously don't know many car collectors/builders. I owned the '29 Ford truck avatar for 25 years. Maverick replaced a daily driver I bought new 18 years ago.
