None of my new pickup trucks have had transmission dip sticks

Most new cars don't either

Same deal maybe?

check your owners guide for the chassis.

Some newer vehicles have sealed transmissions with no dipstick. I don't think that applies to the 6 speed transmission behind the V10 or newer V8. But I agree; check your Ford owners manual. For a 2022 model it should be right next to the oil dipstick:

On my 2021 Axis 24.1 with the new Ford V8 but with the old 6 speed transmission, the transmission dipstick is on the passenger side. It is at least 4 feet long, maybe 5 as it has to reach way back to the transmission sump.

On my E450 - V10 chassis, it’s just to the right of the oil fill on the passenger side

The 2021 E450 chassis shows the location to be in the same place. Maybe look for the insertion tube in that area; maybe the actual dip stick "got lost". I doubt Thor moved the dipstick location away from where Ford put it.

Any one with an Axis/Vegas with the 7.3 care to look at theirs?
