When I was searching for these last year, even some Ford techs here said no, they stopped making them after 2015 or so and went all online. Apparently not. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3245394381...,osub=osub,crd=crd,segname=segname,chnl=mkcid
Late model Ford service DVD's ARE still made.

I’m glad they still are. They are good to print off if you can find a computer with a CD player anymore.
it is ebay, so could still be counterfeit pirate manuals 
Why would anyone want this? Service Info is continually updated.
There is a new disc for each year.
Service info gets updated overtime for the same vehicles.
Outdated info. I don't know of any dealer that uses them. Everything is online and the correct listings in the workship and wiring diagrams comes up automatically in OASIS when you hook up the IDS, now FDRS, to the vehicle. Same with any applicable TSBs, SSMs, or FSAs. The manuals are updated daily with new or revised information.
Also those wouldn't have come from Ford anyway. They do not print manuals. All the publishing is from Helm INC.
Just how much new information is there on how to to R&R an engine or transmission, how to replace brake pads, calipers or rotors, how to remove the radio, rear seat, or window motor, etc. that would make a 3,5 or 10 year old disc useless? That would be like saying the printed repair manuals for 2010 cars are now out dated. That's what TSB's are for. To supplement the info in the service manuals.
They really should offer some sort of reasonable option for owners... nearly $3000.00 a year is absurd.
Ford isn't the only one either. Miss the old Bentley maulas for VW too... (they would update)

They are not printed manuals but DVDs. Yes, Ford doesn't have a DVD manufacturing line in Detroit to make them, they contract with an outside company to produce them and then distribute the discs to the dealers or techs.
True, but no dealers use them. Everything is available to us online with real time updates. Same with the manuals, they show up and go right in the recycling bin.
Well, there are some smart individuals that are apparently picking them out of the recycle bin and posting them on Ebay. The later model DVD's bring over $150 each. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...183721&_odkw=ford+dvd&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1 For 95% of mechanics outside a dealership, it's all you need.
