Wheres the auto tranny dipstick???

There isnt one. The transmissions are considered sealed from the factory. No need to check it i guess.
I dont have problem with that really because of warranty. But if the transmission runs out of oil because of an unnoticed leak after warranty, Who pays for it then?

They aren't sealed, but there's no dipstick. There is an access port on the pan itself to check level and siphon fluid. The change interval is 150K for normal service or less than that (maybe 60K? I can't remember...) for severe service.
I have an '09, and my definition of "service lifetime" is probably different than Ford's. I've got 110K on it now and am aiming for 200K before replacement. Therefore, I changed mine at 100K.

How To: Locate the 6R80 Transmission Dip Stick - FORD RAPTOR FORUM - Ford SVT Raptor Forums - Ford Raptor
It can and should be checked at least once early in its life. there have been reports on this forum about improper fluid levels from the factory. The dealers are supposed to do this as part of the vehicle prep, but i doubt many do.

One way to look at it. If there had been a dipstick installed, they may have put it on like they did the engine oil dipstick on the 5.0! Yepper, a dipstick designed by a dipstick, using his dipstick!! Aye, Jimmy!?!?

However, it's not "traditional". To check the transmission fluid ...
- the vehicle must be level.
- the transmission needs to be at "operating temperature".
- the (short) dipstick is on the RH (passenger) side of the transmission and is accessible from the underside of the vehicle.
