I wouldn't. it is a common misconception that people believe 10s hit highs and 12s only play lows. Silly.
Playing two speakers of different sizes over the same frequency band will create cancellation since they have different t/s parameters. A 10 can play just as low as a 12 and a 12 can play just as high as a 10. It all depends on the particular speaker and the install you give it. A high displacement 10 in a large sealed enclosure will play a lot lower frequencies than a 12 being choked in a tiny sealed enclosure.
If you can fit it, opt for a 12" speaker in ample sealed airspace and you should get a pretty nice frequency response in the F150.

You spent $1000 on components and then aimed them at the windshield?! Reflections are the worst thing for sound quality. You want them aimed at you or close to on-axis with minimal path length difference between each side for the cleanest path to your ears from the source.
