This is on 2025 so I can assume all this generation will be the same. It's not located where you think it should be, thank you Ford. It is almost dead center of the truck side to side. I've posted several pictures to help you find it.
Under the drivers side. Find your dip stick on the transmission and it is about an inch behind it toward rear of truck, like almost under the interior console. Above the last third of transmission housing. I could get a snake camera all the way up there and see in mine. I believe most of us could manage a wire or something to clean if necessary but with a bright flashlight you can probably see good enough to determine if it's getting blocked with something.
Red arrows are rear of truck, Blue is front , Whites what your wanting to find.
Hope this helps one and all. Ranger On!

Looks to be a good bit of room if you need to poke a straightened metal clothes hanger or something in there.

Very helpful. Thanks. If you need to clean one out, look on Amazon for a thin, long, flexible drain brush. About $7 bucks or so. Do not use bleach on the brush. Use White vinegar. Same stuff I use to clean out the drain lines in the home A/C every couple months.

Thanks for posting this! I’m gonna crawl under my truck this weekend and give it a look to make sure all is as it should be and confirm it is the same on a 2024

I like to use a Turkey Baster with an extension. Squirt it and let it drain.
