There's no harm in looking. In fact, it'll make him a more appreciative Ford owner. I'm pulling the trigger next year and I've been under all of them. Naturally I'm getting a Ford but I like to see why we are better built.

I am VERY interested in what kind of a deal I may be able to get on a 2010 truck.
The funny thing is, after 7 years of being an FTE member, as well as 3 Ford trucks, I don't think I could buy anything else simply because I firmly believe Ford builds the best truck. I also have way too much fun here on FTE!
I have to admit that after owning a 6.4L SD and driving a 380 HP 1/2-ton Toyota, I would have a rough time going back to a 310 HP 5.4L F150. Nothing against it, that's what my rental is, but I got to really enjoy towing with a large excess of power.

Well, it's an idea. It's not for everyone, and I'm not even sure I would do it.

If you want to drive a fast truck go drive an SRT-10 or a Chevy with a 5.3, if you want to pull stuff get the ford. My 5.4L is only 260 horse but I know for a fact it trailers better than a Silverado and Ram... I can only imagine it lays the Tundra to shame. Tom, PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER MAN!

Nothing a little 100mph tape can't fix! Besides, a few dents here and other gives character! Now... about the truck... 
Seriously, your wife is probably punishing herself more than you ever could. She's going to need a hug and some re-enforcement that you love her more than the truck.
(pssst! Use this opportunity to get an upgraded truck!)

I'm very certain that if you roll into a dealer and lay down $10K and a letter from your lender saying that you can buy today, you'll get the deal you want.
You've been on this site long enough to know how it works. Be relentless my friend and go get that 2011!
