There is a spot to check it and to refill it. A transmission doesn't "burn" fluid so if you don't have a leak then there is no reason to check it. The OP has a leak so he knows it's low. Fix the leak, fill it up and drive on. Pretty simple and a blown tranny line and no dipstick don't make it a POS.

I beg to differ. When after driving 50 miles after a bad day at work, and then having to walk 1/2 a mile along a 2 lane highway with no shoulder in 89 degree heat, it's a POS of epic proportions in my eyes lol.

I'm sure you have bad days at work more often than the truck breaks down. Maybe you have a POS job and need to get rid of it too. lol

Are they're any jobs that are not a POS?

I can count on three fingers how many times I have been stranded along the highway by a breakdown in 39 years, and coincidentally, all 3 times just happened to be Fords. This 2013 F150, a 67 Mustang, and a 75 Maverick. Want to talk about a POS? The 75 Maverick was the POS poster child. I had to take my drivers license test in that thing, and try and pick up girls while in high school with it LOL.

The 67 Mustang is still down over a hill side at the grandparents old homeplace rusting away, where I pushed it after it would not start one morning. It was in the winter when I lived there in the late 70's. It would not start so I had to drive a really nice 70 Chevelle Z15 I also had at the time to work, that had 50's on the back. I hit ice, slid it in to a tree on the way, and bent up the entire front clip. When I came home that evening the stang was pushed over the hill and sits there to this day lol.

As far as the F150, I finally laid my hands on 15 qts of Mercon LV at Oreillys. They had to order in more from two other stores. The new lines came into the Ford dealer yesterday and were kinked in shipping and had to be reordered.

How long does it take to replace the transmission lines on a 2013 F150? Answer; about 5 or 6 days.
