How different are the 2001 and 2002 model years??

OlBlue, with the manuals, it is more than likely a time frame where they were starting to convert all of their "manuals" over to electronic. So, you will find that some years/models may not have a paper manual since they were the test platforms for the new electronic system. Starting in 2004, you can not get a paper manual that I am aware of because all the "manuals" were being sent to the dealerships on a dated DVD and in 2006, they went to a completely internet based system where you have to pay a subscription to be on it.

Point taken, but, I found factory paper manuals for my parents 2009 focus and 2010 fusion, so........

theres manuals for specific models of vehicles. my moms 08 4runner has one my dads 04 tundra has one. but its harder to find. mostly because people are too lazy to work on their vehicles anymore. they dont want to learn all the electronics and vacuum lines. so they just take them in.

So... Bottom line... Should I get them or not??

Also, found something interesting......

Ford shop manuals for 2002 for every vehical EXCEPT the expedition, and an eBay listing that confirms my suspicion of 01 and 02 being so similar, no manuals were printed for 02
