My 2013 f150 5.0 with 139k miles has always had something going wrong every 4 moths it seems. It has all been minor tedious stuff that i was able to warranty or fix myself but its getting close to things that i wont be able to do and $$ is starting to get up there per year. Im up to $300 in 2019 already. 2018 was right around $500

The most recent issues were:
TSB for fuel pump relay fuse - had to wire in a new fuse after i was left stranded with a burnt fuse that was undersized from the factory. Didnt show a problem until 120k miles

Coolant leak from a failed gasket - while driving truck overheated and had lost all coolant. Replaced hose with gasket. 5k miles later it happened again with another gasket downstream of the new one.

Yesterday the truck was completely dead. Key fob wouldnt unlock it, door buttons wouldnt either. Had to use the key to get in and still not one light, bell or anything would work. Battery is 3 months old and had 12V. 20 min later, it started and worked like nothing happened. When will it do this again? how long will it be "dead".

I was hoping to get 2 more years out of this one but i may need to start looking at a new one and tundra is on the list.
I also only get 15.9 lifetime with the 5.0 4x4 w/ 33" AT tires. Previous to this f150 i had 240k miles split between two tacomas and never had an issue.
