Unless you have visible leaks at your trans cooler or the trans itself, your fine.

I posted the same question last year! Lol

Ford cheaped out big time. It's unnerving to me that I can't check it easily.

so either go undernieth of the car or go to the dealer

lol I don't know about "cheaped out". Most newer cars have sealed trannies and the fluid is supposedly good till at least 100k. Not sure if I would trust that but at 20k you should be good for sure.

Lol. I think that to ensure that they can make their claim that the fluid is 100K fluid (and this goes with Lexus as well from about 2003+), they needed a way to make sure that ONLY people who know how to service the trans can get access to it. Read that as tamper proof.
