Tighten the drain plug using a two-finger rule till it feels snug

(drain plug requires less torque [15 - 25 ft. lbs] than many torque wrenches can be set to, many begin at 25-30ftlbs)

so best to NOT use a torque wrench

however, if you have a smaller torque wrench , I found this information elsewhere

"For the 4.0L six-cylinder, torque the drain plug to 18 foot-pounds of torque. For the 4.6L eight-cylinder, use 19 foot-pounds of torque."

Yes, there is a torque setting, but rarely does anyone torque that particular bolt. Torque it to 25 lb/ft until you can find out the correct torque setting. Call a Ford dealer or look in your owner's manual for the exact torque.
