Whats the lifespan of a '02 2.3?

I was looking at buying a 02 ranger and was sad to find it was only a L4. But before I totally dismiss it I wanted to ask about the 2.3 in it. It currently has lil over 77k on it. So if properly maintained how long do these lil motors typically hold out? Also any pros and cons or experience with these motors would be appreciated. I live about 20 miles up a kinda steep mountain and wasnt sure how the 2.3 would hold up maken that drive on a regular basis. I've owned pretty much all chevys in my life so Im unfamiliar with ford drivetrains but I do like this little ranger and want to make sure its gonna get the job done. Thanks for any info & advice
