Of all the things to save $ on, the owners manual is not one of them. Maybe it’s generational, maybe it’s being “green” but the printed manual is important. In my 2025 hybrid I was looking to learn how to preset an and fm channels. Using the manual on the screen was really a PIA. Print the book!
If this helps here in my story:
Nov 9 2024- I ordered by 2025 Mav Lariat with 4k tow and moonroof option, standard blue color.
Nov 10- email from Ford, not dealer, confirming the order and assigned an order #. This was “step 1 in the 4 step Ford process.
On Nov 25 I changed color to Azure...
I had the same issue. However after 8 days I received the message it was built, then 24 hours later, shipped. I live in NJ, estimated arrival is 3 weeks, so it should arrive soon . So I’m wondering if the reason it remained in production for so long is a factor of shipping?
