Oil Dip-Stick Issue

My 2012 5.0 has the oil dipstick waaaay down near the oil pan. I am 6' tall & can hardly reach it to check the oil. Anybody know of a fix for this fiasco? Thanks in advance!

The use of a step stool always works for me!!!

*Available at Harbor Freight

Another option is to contact www.lokar.com and have a flexible dipstick made (they currently do not offer one for the 2009+ 5.0L F-150). I've purchased an extra dipstick and am planning to send it to them with additional spec's for extending the outer housing.
