Learn from my mistake - Ford Shop Manual Subscription not worth it

[alrashid2]

Ah sorry to hear that but I agree, it should still be almost all the same

Looks like the regular Ranger one is American. No EU mention and plant is US

Hey guys, will try to keep it short. For every car I've owned, I like to have a PDF copy of the dealership service manual - not talking about the owner's manual, but the actual service shop manual that dealer techs use with specifics for every repair, specifications, etc.

Anyway, couldn't find a Ford Ranger one for the life of me. Read about buying a 72 hour subscription to Ford's shop manual access for all vehicles for $27, and read you could download PDFs - cool!

Bought the sub, got on, and come to realize you have to download every section individually... There were hundreds of sections!

So went onto Etsy and found this seller, Repairocars, that claimed to offer the full service manual:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/4502655971/ford-ranger-2026-workshop-manual-service?ref=yr_purchases

Paid 7 bucks, got the download 6 minutes later, and got the service manual - sweet! And my $27 waste on the Ford subscription wasn't a complete loss though - I used it to spot check a bunch of random sections/pages, and confirmed that the Etsy download completely matches the Ford page. So at least I got some peace of mind, and now you guys can have it too - youre welcome!

Just wanted to share!

Hi,

The Etsy link is no longer working. Does anyone know of another source, free or paid, where I can get it in PDF format?

Thanks!
