Printed owner's manual?

[jsoa]

I ordered both Helm and from eBay to compare, both have pros and cons, both have minor defects on the binding

Helm:
pros:
- cheaper
- looks OEM
cons:
- smaller
- no cover

eBay:
pros:
- larger
- nice cover
- comes with cover w/ pen
cons:
- more expensive

Pictures:

Overall I like the eBay better due to size and the nice cover it came with, it'll be the one I stick in my clove box.

Be careful who you buy from on eBay. I ordered a manual from https://www.ebay.com/itm/156142241890. It's nicely printed and seems to be of good quality. But it did not come with a cover. But it was also $20 cheaper. Shipping was very quick. I got it the day after I bought it.

Which Ebay listing includes the manual and cover? I'm only seeing the supplement manual with cover.

Thank you. The reason it didn't come up is that they have for a 2021, 22, and 24, no 2023 which is what I need. I'll check with them later to see if they become available.

So FYI - The downloaded 2021 Bronco owner's manual is 552 pages. The downloaded 2023 Bronco owner's manual is 642 pages. That's a 90-page difference I counted using all my fingers and toes. And that's all the math I ever wanna do with my Bronco! I did not download the 2024 file. In AZ, to have FedEx print out and bind the 2021 file / B and W / Dbl page / with spiral spine = $156. UPS for the same request was priced at $126. Looks like Helminc gets my money at $35.

The full owners manual for the 2023 at Helm appears to be missing. Only showing the French version now. The link at the beginning of this thread is also dead. WTH?

As of July 2024 Helm does not offer a hard copy for a ‘24 Bronco

I just called Helm to follow up on my manual replacement (the one they sent me fell apart). Helm is not making them anymore and will send me a refund.

I found a few 2024 owners manuals on eBay.....not many left out there. Get them while you can.

Hey thanks, your link took me to a different Helm page that does show the 2023 Bronco OM. Not available at this point, but looks like there is one available and I can back order it

Just received this one from eBay for my '23. $49 but it is bound well and is organized as it should be with full table of contents, full index and both the Scheduled Maintenance and Customer Information sections integrated. Very happy with it. As of this post the eBay seller had 5 more 2023 manuals available (https://www.ebay.com/itm/156142241890).

I went to access the manual from the app last weekend to find it is not on there any longer.

Just printed at work an 8.5x11 copy from the pdf, double-sided, and 4 pages to a side. Cut a little of the disclaimers out at the end, ended up being 70 sheets.

Any experience ordering through www.ownersmanual.net?

I bought mine from ebay. There were several sellers. I picked one that included a case. Cost is around $50 and it fits in my glove box. Much better than the useless one that's built in.

There's probably a newer version of this thread somewhere. I see "supplemental" manuals for 25 Broncos on ebay, what does that mean?, Does it need another book to be complete? I can't tell the thickness of the books in the photos.
I came here to find out where folks are buying manuals nowdays, is there a current recommendation? Does quality vary? It'd be nice if Ford sold them somewhere I could use points to buy one.
