How much air is there around the earth?
Get a code scanner and check for any codes set and any test incomplete issue.
Look at the brakes front and rear.
Test drive for motor and trans issues.
Condition of exhaust/ header bolts missing etc..
The 5.4 motors can have spark plug blowout issues.
Try out the 4wd both high and low range.
Expect anything at this age.
Beyong this, it's your call.
