I’ve been lurking for a few months doing research, but I finally jumped in! It’s hard to tell in the lighting, but I went with Vapor Blue. Quick question: my car was a dealer demo, and when I got home this was the only owner’s manual I could find. I feel like there should be something more substantial, especially since there’s nothing about the infotainment system. Am I missing something?

@Korrs :
Welcome Aboard!!

Mine was a Job 2 build on Dec 5th and it did NOT have a conventional Owners Manual with the vehicle. My Sales Guy said everything I will need is online.

I believe it was in 2023 when Ford went to the owner's manual being on the SYNC system. It's all on the display. I know my daughter's 2023 EDGE is that way.

For the Explorers it was 2025.

Thanks. Came with the SYNC 4 upgrade, right?

There is something about just holding the info in your hand, or at least there is for me. It looks like Helm Inc. prints a hard copy for $58.

No, its a Google based system.

Would have sworn the owner's manual was available on the SYNC 4 setup. Did the ST skip SYNC 4?

Yes, it went from Sync3 in 2024 to Google based in 2025.

You can also get the entire manual in pdf form through the MyFord app. I printed mine at work bc I also like a physical copy
