Where is the thermostat on a Ford?
The thermostat sits between the engine and the radiator of your Ford F-150. It is designed to block the flow of coolant to the radiator until the engine has warmed up. Your thermostat reduces engine wear, deposits, and emissions.

When the thermostat is closed, it prevents coolant from leaving the engine and circulating through the radiator until the correct running temperature is reached.

Can a car run without a thermostat?
A car without a thermostat would never even warm to operating temperature, much less overheat. The lack of a thermostat would create a constant flow of coolant through the engine, thus a constant cooling effect on the engine. In this case though, the thermostat is not present, so this would not be a problem.
Can you drive a car with a bad thermostat?
If it is failed in a closed position then you cannot really drive it with the thermostat broken, as the engine would overheat. This however will not generally have any impact on the ability to drive the car, at least if you let it warm up before you start driving.
