My 2025 XL did not come with a printed owners manual. It came with a thin pamphlet that highlights a few things, but the dealer directed me to the Ford app for the owners manual.

Is there a way to obtain a proper and complete paper copy? Jeep would send you one if you called and asked.

Thanks. I believe this is a company that prints and binds the PDF. I do not believe it is Ford-official, but that wouldn’t be a big deal.

I just bought an official 2025 Ranger manual, it's a whopping 638 pages and covers Raptor and Non Raptor models. It's much easier for me to quickly find something vs using the info screen in the truck. One owner actually reported his info screen locked up when trying to get back out of the manual to the home/radio screen. The bad part, it was $57+ tax from Ebay.

I think I'm just going to print a copy from the PDF download and put it in a 3-ring binder under the seat or behind, wherever. It'll be useful when not in cell service which is a lot for me.

I'd like to edit the pdf so that it only contains info pertinent to my XLT and weed out anything else I don't need then put it on a flash drive and take it to the printer and have them make a ring bound booklet. The only question would be if they won't do it because of copyright infringement. I've got around that by signing a paper though.

you can download the manual in pdf format and then you don’t need cell service

i guess personally being able to search quickly is better than having a hard copy

and honestly the manual in spite the size, it not all that useful.

So you're essentially downloading it to your hard drive on your phone and therefore making it assessable in non cell service areas? I'll go that route if that's what I can do on an iPhone. note boomer here so not technically advanced.
