Did the 2021 MME GT come with manuals?

[MachEnthusiast]

I know there's the digital in-software manual but... does the 2021 GT come with one of those black zip-up things with manuals and stuff in it? I swear mine did, but it's not in my glove box. My memory is terrible so I either:

1) Forgot it didn't come with one, and think it did or...
2) Forgot what I did with it and lost it someplace (most likely in my home)

But I swear I had a standard black zip up bag with manual and other literature in it.

My 2021 GT didn’t come with anything that I can recall.

My 2021 Premium only had the online manual which I printed before my MME was delivered. It was 433 pages which I downloaded in a PDF file and then printed on two-sided 3-hole punched paper. It’s in a 2 inch binder with a copy of the window sticker in the binder sleeve.

My week of October 9 2021 production 2021 GT-PE came with a hard copy manual. It was packaged in shrink wrap plastic. The card with the door code was packaged with it. I had downloaded the manual in PDF form prior to being able to convert my reservation into an order. I got to read the PDF many times before getting the car. I didn't much look at the hard copy. ??

As with Steve, my '21 GTPE came with a full hard copy manual. Build date was September '21. And just to mention, my '24 GTP came with a hard copy manual.

I don’t think any 2021 Job 1 vehicles came with hardcopy manuals. The 2021 GT was essentially “Job 2”, so it came with a hardcopy manual (and, I believe, 2 fobs).

I bought my paper manual online through Helminc iirc because they print on demand and it was cheaper at the time than Staples or Office Max or whoever it is down in Kona. But yeah, the job 1s had no paper manual.

I have everything that came with the car and the manual is accessible on the main screen just as you said.
It is better than a printed manual because if Ford decides to update the manual, it will be the updated via an OTA update.

But you got that neat frunk divider! ??

My job 1 2021 did not. My job 1 2022 did not. My 2022 job 1 Lightning did not.

PDF online manuals, easily downloadable to any device you own.

No. It did not.

These responses are so confusing.

All of our vehicles should have come with a slim black Velcro closed bag that contains a tire warranty guide, vehicle warranty guide, supplemental owners manual, and quick reference guide booklet. There should also be a business card sized cardstock that has the master door code, but that might have been handed to you separately from the glove box content.

So no, none of you technically received the FULL owners manual in paper form from Ford unless you ordered it yourself from Helm or printed it from the online PDFs.

I was originally posting mainly because I don't remember if I had a black velcro bag thing and lost it, or if I never had one to begin with. I have the master code card, tire warranty book, and supplemental owners manual accounted for.

Just to clarify, my '21 J1 did NOT come with a manual but my '21 J2 and my '24 came with a FULL 400+ page owners manual.

WOW! I had no idea. I wonder if this is a quiet acknowledgement that the in-vehicle manual is too difficult for people to use.
