Does the Helminc manual include a case?
No it doesn't, you'll get the manual only, it's about 900 pages and the size of a large paperback book. Actually it doesn't fit well in the glove box either. :)

Wait… I knew there was the owners manual in the infotainment screen, but my truck also came with the printed owners manual and all of the supplemental manuals as well. (warranty info, tires, Sirius registration etc)

Who is deciding which new F150’s get a printed manual and which ones don’t? My XL definitely came with one and most of it contains information for features my truck doesn’t even have ?

I still prefer to have a paper one though

No I got one off eBay that said “for 2022-2023 F150”.
But it does match all the other little books.

It fit in mine good. I put it in tall wise (is that even a word? lol) back to the glove box door.

Yeah I've been looking at options and most places to do the correct size would be $70+. If it wasn't so dang thick I'd just print it out on paper with pre punched holes and put it in a binder like other manuals I've done.

Ebay does have some correct ford manual cases/covers. If I do buy one of the printed ones I'm gonna get one of those. Ya know for 55-80 grand you'd think they'd have printed manuals for the price they could get them made in volume. When you buy something, there should be an e-book of the manual and a printed book. But many simply don’t do this, it’s unlikely that this is due to laziness, since everything is done by robots now. I would advise you to blog about this, but I myself am looking for helpful resources like Papersowl blog and have no one else to rely on. They put a printed version in my car, thank God. I didn’t have to print it later, but I would also like an electronic one, since the book is not always with me at the right moments.
Everything is done in one place. This made me angry at first.

I love the pdf version, easier to search for what you want??‍♂

Some of these older guys think it's a 1970's Cadillac where the manual is like 15 pages. It's so much faster SEARCHING a PDF file for what you want! Reminds me of my MIL who still wants to go pay her bills with a money order or a check LOL. Why make things difficult for yourself?

I bought my truck used and the manual was misisng. Seller agreed to get me one. It came Saturday. It looks to be the original Ford Manual, came with the black case and even the ball point pen.

It came from ownersmanual.net it Gainesville FL.

The 22's didn't come with a printed manual when new. Annoying.
