Jim,
What about buying a good used set of seats out of a 2010 f150? That would let you keep the truck you like and give her the ride she wants. I would check out car-part.com and there are a lot of options for seats in a 10 f150 so pick like seats and find a wrecking yard that's not clear across the country that you can go and buy them from. Sometimes when doing a swap like that some wrecking lots will take your old seats in for something off the bill. Just a thought.
Good luck
