Call me old-school, but while the owner's manual states that a transmission oil change is not needed until 150,000 miles, I've always drained and replaced the trans fluid on new cars after a break-in period of 4000-5000 miles or so.
Has anyone tried this yet? In one thread someone stated that there is a dipstick, but it's only accessible with the truck on a lift. I haven't checked for that yet, but I'll assume it's there and that it's also the fill point, which sounds like a pretty inconvenient location. It also appears that there is no drain plug - I assume you need to drop the whole oil pan? I haven't seen that sort of thing for 30 years..
