you have to check it on the tranny itself, on the right side of the tranny by the bellhousing there is a 19mm cap and inside is the dipstick. The disptick is like 3-4 inches long

^^^ What he said.
And the reason that he had to attach a page from the maintenance manual and not the owner's, it that according to the owner's manual, there IS no transmission dipstick. And that the transmission fluid should be checked only by the dealer.
I guess they think that we owners are the dipsticks.

Do we have the 6R80 tranny?
SECTION 307-01B: Automatic Transaxle/Transmission — 6R80
2010 F-150 Workshop Manual
GENERAL PROCEDURES
Transmission Fluid Level Check
Special Tool(s)
Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware, or equivalent scan tool
Material Item Specification Motorcraft® MERCON® LV Automatic Transmission Fluid
XT-10-QLV MERCON® LV NOTICE: The vehicle should not be driven if the transmission fluid level is low as internal failure could result.
NOTICE: The transmission fluid fill plug is located near the exhaust system. The exhaust will be extremely hot during this procedure.
NOTE: If the vehicle has been operated for an extended period at high highway speeds, in city traffic, during hot weather or while pulling a trailer, the transmission fluid must cool down to obtain an accurate reading.
NOTE: If the transmission starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows signs of transmission fluid leaking, the transmission fluid level should be checked.
NOTE: Do not overfill the transmission. The transmission fluid level must be at the upper level of the crosshatch mark.
NOTE: If the installation of a new transmission fluid cooler or transmission fluid cooler tubes has been carried out, the vehicle must be driven to get the transmission fluid to a temperature of 88ºC (190ºF) in order to purge the air from the transmission fluid cooling system.

- With the engine running, place the transmission selector lever in each gear position and hold approximately 5 seconds. Place the transmission selector lever in PARK.
- With the engine idling (600-750 rpm) in PARK, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section 100-02 .
- Remove the transmission fluid fill plug transmission fluid level indicator assembly, located on the passenger side front portion of the transmission case.
- Separate the transmission fluid level indicator from the transmission fluid fill plug.
- Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator clean. Reinstall the transmission fluid level indicator only back into the transmission fluid fill plug hole to check the transmission fluid level.
- Using the scan tool, verify that the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) is between 80ºC-85ºC (176ºF-185ºF). Do not overfill the transmission. The transmission fluid level must be at the upper level of the crosshatch mark.
- NOTE: If the transmission fluid is not at the correct level, follow the steps for Adding Additional Transmission Fluid or Removing Transmission Fluid. For additional information, refer to Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill in this section.
Install the transmission fluid fill plug.- Tighten to 35 Nm (26 lb-ft).
