Contrary to what the manual says, there is in fact a transmission dip stick present on the 6R80. Thanks to GasGasMan for this excellent drawing, here's where you can find it; its located underneath the truck, directly above the transmission fluid pan on the passenger side:

FYI: According to the 2010 Raptor Supplement, the automatic transmission fluid and filter should be changed at 60k mile intervals.

You add fluid here with a pump/hose. The hand pump auto parts stores sell that screw to the top of the bottle will work or anything with a hose to reach up in there. You have to drop the pan to remove fluid.
