Printed Owners Manual Available for 2025 Rangers

[SandiG]

Helm, Inc has had the Owner's Manual in printed form available for 2024 Rangers for a while now, and as of today I see the printed Owner's Manual is available for the 2025 Model Year Rangers as well: https://www.helminc.com/helm/Result.asp?Style=helm&Mfg=FMC&Make=FRD&Model=RANG&Year=2025&Category=&Keyword=&Module=&selected_media=

Now if I could just find the PDF copy for the 2025's I'd be set.

You can select the pdf option on here: 2025 Ford Ranger Owner Manuals

when ya'll say "owners manual", you mean the booklet that tells how to use the vehicle features, etc, correct? This isn't the service or repair manual is it? (and does anyone know if we can buy or download the repair manual?)

They sell the full owners manual, a supplemental owners manual, and they also list a maintenance manual on a usb thumb drive, but that’s been unavailable for the couple of months I’ve been watching.

Just bought the printed owners manual for my wife's Bronco sport. Fast shipping and great product.

Yes. It's the manual you'd normally expect to receive with a motor vehicle, that one might find in a glove box.

It is not a service manual, beyond common tasks, but it is still 637 pages long. LOL

I got an owners manual in my 2024 Ranger. It was worthless, glossed over most important stuff, and I had to figure out how to use SYNC on my own to link my phone via bluetooth. My last Ford was a 2010 explorer that had voice sync with no touchscreen. That Explorer didn't even have a back-up camera screen. This is all new to me technology

Are you talking about the full, 637 page manual?

Even that doesn't fully cover infotainment system functionality, but it's better than nothing. LOL

maybe it’s a regional thing, but in post #16 above @SandiG posted the link to the html and pdf versions earlier this week and the pdf was available then. Not sure when it was first published as pdf but I’m really happy that it’s there.

I got an owners guide that is 126 pages and a 13 page quick reference guide. Really suks that Ford does this. Not everyone that buys a new car has a computer. My Boomer aged parents dont even own a computer. If they bought a new car, they would be asking me all the time questions that could have been answered in the owners manual. my .02 cents

Yeah, I've got one of those, as well. This was a silly decision by Ford. That 126 pages would have been better served as a full infotainment system guide.

Perhaps the nicest thing about the full manual is the alphabetized index. Finally, you can locate what you want and dig up the appropriate page.

I think you’re referring to the Supplemental Owner’s Manual, and the actual Owner’s Manual is available through the center screen.

I haven’t used the Ford Assistant in either of my new vehicles, but if you can get answers that are in the Owner’s Manual from the assistant then your parents can ask questions while in their car, like, “Ok Ford, how do I set cruise control?”

well Ford........If you are only going tho put the entire owners manual on a computer then Why did you print up a "supplemental owners manual"? half assed job Ford!
If I was asked to do a report at work and I printed up a supplemental and told my boss to go find the actual report on the computer, I'd be on his sh&t list rest of the month!
