Had this happen on a couple of vehicles but the one Ford I had an issue with was our SVT Rally Focus. Went in for breakfest before a stage, came out and no start. Turned out to be a fuel pump quit. Car had 5000 miles one it. Could be a place to start, check fuel pressure.
If you off road alot, you may want to check the roll over shut-off switch (can go by a number of names). They can trip with severe bumps etc. Usually located on the passenger-side, on the door side. Let me know if you need more detail and I'll look it up.

Air: Check by cracking the throttle. If it starts, your IAC is stuck closed.
Fuel: Check for adequate pressure (35-45 psi) at the rail. Can you hear the pump run for 1-2 seconds when the key is first turned to run? If not, check the inertia switch.
Spark: Check for spark.
One of the three is missing. Once you figure out which, the process of fixing it gets easier.
I could be as simple as frozen moisture in the fuel line in which case you may need to wait until spring.
