Default no owners manual?

i bought a new 2010 and was wondering if this was the first year for a dvd owners manual? i have a small quick refference guide and then a dvd for the full manual. this sucks and i hate it is there a way to get a book type manual. i hate the penny pinching that chrysler does. sorry had to vent and yes i do read the manual when i get a new auto lol sure i am in the minority.

I really prefer a book manual, as well. However, I have the .pdf for the '07 and it really is a quicker way (using search) to find something specific. But the real book is a much better way to just learn the ins and outs of a new vehicle. Besides, in '07 the manual came in this cool, OD cloth case.

I asked my dealer about getting a Wrangler sales brochure for a friend and was told that Chrysler wouldn't be sending them any. The info would only be available on the Jeep website.

called the factory customer service number that was posted up earlier and they are sending me a printed version free of charge. not sure how long the wait will be but at least they are providing me one. thanks for the phone number (i already had it but didn't think to call). i told them the law says the first owner of a new auto has the right to receive a printed copy of the owners manual and after a brief hold they agreed. now i am at least a little happy with the customer service department. thanks for the help

I have a separate manual for the DVD/GPS/Sirius. My JK is a 2008
The manual is as thick as the owner manual!
