TRANSMISSION FLUID
Checking 6-speed automatic transmission fluid
The automatic transmission does not have a transmission fluid dipstick.
Refer to your scheduled maintenance information for scheduled
intervals for fluid checks and changes. Your transmission does not
consume fluid. However, the fluid level should be checked if the
transmission is not working properly, (i.e., if the transmission slips or
shifts slowly) or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.
Transmission fluid should be checked by an authorized dealer. If
required, fluid should be added by an authorized dealer.
Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or
cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.

Yes your right.. But we use these trucks for service work and drive them in some bad places so we check them over real good before we send them out for the first time. We also pull trailers and load them down good. The guy that was giving me s**t over not knowing was just being a smart ***. The reason I ask in the first place I thought someone on this forum had seen it before and I would not need to go to FORD for the answer. The reason I posted the right answer was to help someone else and they would not need to go through the BS that I did. I lot of problems are solve before they happen, like checking oil levels. The dealer in another state told me that 80% of the trans problems they had for poor shifting, over heating and shutter was from incorrect fluid level from the factory. Out of all the trucks we use we only had 1 to fell and it was trans problems, It was not checked before we put it in use. Word to the wise. If your not sure have it checked for the first time it could save you a pain in the *** down the road..

I understand RTFM I HAVE but I also am a truck tech and when I check it it was at 176`-180` on my lift and it was a the bottom of the lower mark which I am smart enough to know it is LOW from the factory..... I did the same thing to all 7 of my trucks at the shop...But the 2012 don't have the same marks on the stick that ALL OF MY 2012 F150 WITH 6R80 TRANS.

I don't understand what you are trying to figure out.
Maybe that makes me a confused smarta$$.
But not as confused as you seem to be.
ps: "Here you go BIRD"
That's Shorebird to you.
You don't know me well enough to call me Bird.
That familiarity is reserved for my friends.

OK you don't know what level the fluid should be at.
So you DO KNOW what is a low level.
All right where did you get that information from? Please be kind enough to cite your source of this information.
So you have inspected a number of other trucks and found them to be filled to the correct level but you did not know what level the latest truck should be filled to.

I was nice enough to find out and bring the info back to the forum for someone else that may would like to know. Maybe you don't have a truck new enough to worry this issue.
You are the rudest person I have ever seen on a forum for Ford truck owners, I go out of my way to help people every day life is short, just remember that. I have cancer now this is my 2nd time trust me I know!
Have a blessed day sir..
