Hey guys, I have a 2013 FX4 5.0. I'm about average height of 5'11 and pretty much need a milk crate to stand on to be able to reach the dipstick in the engine bay. I realize these motors are used in 2011+ mustangs which I had no issues trying to in my 2012 Mustang but it would almost be nice if they did something about it in the f150's
