You don't need latch to install a carseat, the seatbelt is equally as safe when installed properly. I think as long as your airbag is off you should be fine. Double check with Ford if you have any concerns, I'm sure they have a 1-800 number you could call.

@MrsTiz: Do you use it half the time because you need the truck bed, or for no reason? Once LO is here we plan to pretty much exclusively use my car, which is an SUV. DH has a tiny car and I have really long legs, which is not a good combo. We'll have a carseat in there so he can do part of the daycare runs, but I doubt we'll ever all 3 of us ride in his car unless it's an emergency.

Here's what carseat.org says http://www.carseat.org/Resources/FAQs.htm#pickup

If you must install a safety seat in the front seat of a pickup truck, make sure the air bag is turned off, either with an on/off switch or with an automatic sensor (check indicator light). Some passenger air bags will expand to cover the center seating position, so installing a safety seat in that location may be dangerous to your child. Check the vehicle owner’s manual to find out where child safety seats may be installed. Installing a safety seat in the front seat of any vehicle increases the risk of death to your child by more than 30%, so a pickup truck without a back seat is not the safest choice for transporting a child.

I believe any 2 seater vehicle should have a way to turn the airbags off. I know my FIL's work trucks do. If you can figure that out, should be fine! Maybe check the manual or call your local dealership to ask. If there's not a way to turn it off yourself perhaps the dealership could unhook it 'under the hood' or something.
