FNG with a 2022 Timberline and the 501a Owners manual question.

[Traveling Light]

This is our 3 Expedition and by far the best one yet. We had a 2015 xlt, 2018 Limited and now the Timberline.

After taking deliver i noticed only the supplemental manuals and door access code card in the glove box and no big manual or manual storage case.

Quick call to the dealer and the saleskid says your manual is built into the screen and there is no hard copy included with the truck, can anyone confirm that there is no hard copy of the manual in a 2022 Timberline with 501a seems ridiculous to me.

My jeep came with a dvd, talk about even more difficult to use...
Doesn't surprise me they are going away from paper. I have heard some are all online now.

No more full hardcopy owners manuals, you can download all of the documentation by going here: https://www.motorcraftservice.com/ownerinformation

I got a Timberline and got what you got, no hard manual

Also in the Ford Pass app there is an owners manual you can access.

If I'm not mistaken, they have done away entirely with the paper manual.

She gone. My F150 powerboost manual is like 800+ pages. Have to look it up using the screen or print off online.

 

[LokiWolf]

Yep, just like the 21+ 150. Any vehicle with Sync 4 has the manual built in. It is pretty easy to use in my opinion. Can search for what you need. Also in the FordPass app like was mentioned above.

Ford saves four bucks.

Ford saves four bucks.

I bet that paper manual costs more than $4/veh. And even if it was $4/veh that is a BIG cost save. They make changes for < $1 all the time.

I believe that the hard copy owners manuals are a thing of the past. You used to be able to order directly from Helm Inc. I included the link above.

However, if you want to download the manual to an iPad or PC, goto: www.motorcraftservice.com and go to Free Resources and drill down from there.

I'm adding the downloaded manuals that I have from that site:

I tried to upload what I had, and the site said the files were too large. Try this: https://www.fordservicecontent.com/...-Owners-Manual-version-1_om_EN-US_11_2021.pdf And this: https://www.fordservicecontent.com/...l-Owners-Guide-version-1_su_EN-US_11_2021.pdf and for the Quick Start Guide, this: https://www.fordservicecontent.com/...2022-Expediton-QRG-Ver-1_QG_EN-US_11_2021.pdf

Sorry if these links didn't work

Your correct no printed manual.. I’m sure your already aware of the smaller gloove box. I downloaded the manual from the Ford site and saved it as a PDF on my IPad. Now I can read it any time I want.

It is easy to use as long as you’re sitting in your vehicle with the screen turned on.

No more going inside your home and reading the manual at your leisure.

Not true. Can read it in the FordPass App, off the website in HTML on any computer or device with a browser, or like above said, download the PDF. Paper manuals are something of the past. Let's be realistic, do 95% of drivers EVER look at the manual? That is a completely different issue though.
