I'm just going to have it towed to the Ford dealership that's about 10 miles down the road tomorrow and let them fix it.

Ouch. You just need a ride to the parts store and a 1/2" breaker bar to pull the tensioner. Pretty easy to change if the diagram sticker is there. If I was closer I would help.
At least you are better off than the guy I saw in Allen a little bit ago. Under the Stacy Rd. and Hwy 75 bridge he manage to turn his trailer over, in the U turn lane. The truck was in the air.

Glad you got it off the road. Belts rarely break just to break. Make sure (and I’m sure a dealership will) idler pulley and water pump. Usually something breaks causing belt to trash. Should still be a quick fix
.... at least it’s not a Chevy and your transmission still works, as well as electronics and both running lights
... and your with your family. Make lemonade out of lemons

Make sure you check the all pullies/water pump. On a road trip my belt broke, had a wrecker bring me another one. Spent an hour on the side of the road putting it on, started the truck up and the new belt was shredded. Learned the hard way to check the pullies before cranking the truck.

They have a game room with pool table that we used today while our camper was trying to cool down. 2 hrs on side of highway in this heat and all the kids are wiped out and already asleep. Will get it fixed in the AM and then on our way to Nashville.
