Mark,
I don't know if Ford makes a cleaner or not. But there is a leather cleaner that I have used (not on King Ranch leather, I can't afford it) made by Mother's you can buy it at O'Rileys. I think I would use Saddle soap. You can get that at Wal-Mart in the shoe department. just dampen a cloth with a little water and rub this on the saddle soap and then on the spot rub gently but rub it in good. then wipe it off let it dry if the spot is gone you did good if not do it again. my buddy has King Ranch Leather and I think this will work Ford probably wants $49 for their cleaner if they make one.

I have a 06 Kingranch and had a buddy with a huge grease spot on the back of his shirt, he sat and stained the back of the seat I could not get it out thank goodness the seats are dark. Let me know if you find a way to clean.

So far, the Saddle soap is making a definate improvement. The first application did not get it all but certainly made an improvement. I am doing it again and see how it looks this time.

The problem is, where the hamburger grease got on the leather, it is darker there. So, I am hoping that it will lighten it up some. However, although there is an improvement with the saddle soap, it is still not acceptable.

Saddle Soap is the best bet. I've threatened the wife and kids with bodily injury if they even think about doing that. 
edit: great minds think alike.

Boy have I learned my lesson. Saddle soap changed it a little but not much. After it all dried, it does not look all that much different. I found this stuff. Has anyone used any of these products?

If this stuff does not work, I am going to have to replace the leather on the passenger seat bottom.

may want to try a good tack or saddle shop if any are close by,, they are very good at advising about leather problems as they handle some very costly saddles,
I bought one of their best saddle soaps (Belvoir) made in England to use on my KR seats,, keeps them sooooo soft and and rich looking,, very pleased with the results,,
not sure how it would handle the burger grease though,,
