How do you check the fluid level in a Ford Ranger auto transmission?

You can't check the transmission fluid level in a Ford Ranger (or most modern automatic transmissions) using a dipstick in the same way you do with engine oil. Modern Ford Ranger automatic transmissions have sealed transmission systems. There is no dipstick.

To check the transmission fluid condition and level, you need to take it to a qualified mechanic or Ford dealership. They will use specialized equipment to assess the fluid's condition and level, often involving connecting a diagnostic scanner and potentially removing a drain plug to check the fluid level and color.

Attempting to check the fluid level yourself on a modern automatic transmission is not recommended as there's a risk of damage.
