Is there a owners manual cover/binder and I just didn't get mine? Does anyone feel as I do that a $60k + vehicle should have a nice manual cover/binder.

Is an "Owner's MaMual" a mamual for the wife's goodies? ;)

If you have your vehicle manual without a cover it may have been taken or robbed by the dealer to make someone else happy.

Did you check the glove box? It is usually the size of a diary or address book. It gives you the workings of the vehicle, like how to change a tire or relearn the TPS. It comes in handy, but if you're looking for technical diagrams, electrical schematics and the like you are SOL. You need to buy those on your own dime. That's unless you can get one of the mechanics at the dealership to slip them to you. If not beware of the on-line manual scams. If you know how to navigate the web you should be fine. Aloha & welcome to the Forum! Any pics of your new ride? Bill

P.S. I think Chilton Manuals are still available on line. They are very detailed and thorough.

Hell, my 2005 Tahoe came with the original manual and a nice leather cover.

At these prices they should give you a nice binder for the manual. I bet the Escalade gets one. They are penny pinching.

Same here, paper book, no cover. No spare tire strap either. sigh...

My Yukon just got delivered on Friday, and I picked it up that afternoon. The manual itself doesn't have a cover -- but it comes in a nice storage portfolio thingy. I will take a pic and post it when I get out of the office.

No cover on my manual nor do I want one... The glove box is tight enough as is. Plus I almost always use the digital copy of the manual...much easier to search for what you need.
