Check transmission fluid

On this truck like many newer vehicles there is no easy access dipstick and dipstick tube. Instead, they put a tiny dipstick in the hole on the side of the transmission itself. To use it you need to determine the transmission fluid temperature. Using a scan tool or on some models they have a display in the drivers information center menu, you need a fluid temperature between 205 and 215 degrees. Then you put the vehicle in the air with it level and remove the splash shield or skid plate and access the right side of the transmission. There is a small fill plug where the dipstick would normally go. With the engine running you first run it through all the gears while holding the brake, stopping in each one for at least 10 seconds. Now put it back into park. Leave the engine running. Next remove the fill plug and you will find the "fluid level indicator" attached to the end of the plug. The correct fluid level with the transmission at the proper temperature is within the B section of the dipstick. If it is in that area the level is correct. Reinstall the dipstick and plug and the splash shield. Let the vehicle down and you are done. Now if you plan on actually wanting to service the transmission and checking the level more often, you can get an aftermarket dipstick that screws into the plug area and makes it easier to check the level.

Thank you very much h for answer to my question it it very helpful to me. I don't know why ford didn't just put a dipstick on the vehicle at the factory ? 0

Ford isn't the only one. Most of the companies out there are doing the same things, making it harder for owners to do any of their own work. Service information restrictions, security blocks for scan tools and a couple companies are making it even worse by forcing you to use a scan tool for any parts replacement, like coding a battery, needing to register things like spark plug replacement or on a high end model you need a factory scan tool to even open the hood.

If you don't have a scan tool for your truck, you might want to consider one called FORScan. They have a free version that does a lot, the paid version is more powerful than the OE tool but can be dangerous if you don't know what the individual items can do.
