I probably will not be of much help but my 2010 has 98k and barely counts as having been broken in. I did have to get the drive train reprogrammed as I had a problem of the truck shutting off while driving. Happened to me three times but reprogramming fixed it. While that is a serious issue, I have not had any other problems.

Had an '04 FX4 and got about 215k before selling it. The only major problem I remember is the front actuator for the 4 wheel drive not properly working one time. Be sure to check the shifter connection to transmission. It's plastic and can come off easy/break with age.

Slightly out of your date range, but - I bought a 2004 F-150 SuperCrew w/4.6L V-8. It has ~250k miles. Changed oil and filter EVERY 5k, tune-up and changed EVERY fluid at 100k and 200k. Runs like new, no drivetrain problems - I believe it will run 350-400k - but some of the interior parts are wearing out and the radio/CD player is failing.

I had a 2008 F150 for my work truck. It finally gave out at 325k miles. Great truck.

They are for the most part excellent trucks. Also, post this question on the Outdoor Board as well, lots of folks on there with lots of truck knowledge.

I just sold my 2009 F150 with 239000 on it and it was still running great. The only reason I bought new is I work a 6 State area and put tons of miles on my truck. I already miss it.

Remember, many are first owners of the truck they mention. A truck that age, with a hard 75000 miles is worse than one well cared for with 150000 miles

If it’s the 5.4L V8, the stock spark plugs are likely two-piece designs that break off when they are first changed. I went through it on my 2007. Broke 4 of 8 and had to use the Lisle tool to extract them. One of them broke in such a way that I had to mill out part of the Lisle bit to grab the broken plug.

Terrible design and a pain to change!
