Where is the AUTOMATIC transmission dipstick in a Ford Ranger?

Answer 1

On most Ford Ranger models (i.e. before 2012) with an automatic transmission:

Back right hand side of the engine bay, passenger side, near firewall.

It characteristically has a colored handle (usually red or yellow) and will be labeled TRANS, or ATF.

Ford Rangers (not so old especially 2012 and later)

Later versions model has a sealed transmission system without a conventional dipstick. Fluid checks and refills should be performed under the vehicle in such situations (most often by a mechanic with a fill plug and scan tool to check temperature and fluid level).

Answer 2

In a Ford Ranger, the automatic transmission dipstick is typically located near the back of the engine bay, towards the driver's side. It may be positioned near the firewall or close to the engine block, often marked with a bright-colored handle for easy identification. To check the Transmission Fluid level, ensure the vehicle is on level ground and the engine is running, then pull the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and check the fluid level.
