Your 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 came without an Owner's Manual, and the dealer told you that printed manuals are no longer included. You discovered that federal safety standards (FMVSS 225) require Owner's Manuals for vehicles like yours, and found that a similar issue has been documented for Chevrolet Silverado trucks. You'll likely need to contact GMC or your dealer to obtain a printed manual or confirm whether a digital version is available.
