I attached the spec below for the torque of the plug. As for the size, it varies. It is either 13,15,16,17,19 or 21 millimeter.

Unfortunately Ford was not consistent with their drain plug sizes so I would just get down there with set of wrenches that way you are sure to have the right one and prevent you from getting up and down a number of times.
My money would be on a 15mm wrench as that seems to be the most common on my modern Fords.
