LOL. I wish. 1st axle went out prematurely at 90,000 miles don't know the cause, 2nd one was used out of a f-250 with 180,000 miles went out around 170,000 miles, and the 3rd one is out of an f-250 with 60,000 miles still going strong.
1st transmission blew the front pump seal and overheated at 160,000 miles pulling my work trailer up a fire access road. Had it rebuilt by a local shop. Started slipping 20,000 miles later and warranty was only 1 year or 12,000 miles. At 190,000 miles the front u-joint of the rear driveshaft broke loose at freeway speeds and destroyed the rear driveshaft and cracked the transmission bell housing 3/4 of the way around. I fixed the u-joint and drove the truck 250 miles home pulling my work trailer very slow. Insurance company replaced transmission and rear driveshaft with a new one from ford.

More Turbo
Just turned 161616 miles this weekend. the # of miles per year has dropped from about 25-30k to around 5k, been using a Honda Element as a commuter and for the snow.
The EX gets one long run each year, wife and I go to Martinsville VA for the NASCAR race each fall, we will be leaving this coming Friday am, the EX is ready

Rolled 250,000 yesterday on my 2002 Limited 4x4. Injectors and glow plugs done once at 190k and a fuel bowl rebuild (i did) and that's about it per all the records dating back to new. Oil changed every 5k. The 4R100 tranny & converter is original and surprisingly still going but I hold my breath and take it easy on her considering I run a Hypertech tuner in level 1 and tow with it all the time.

late to the Thread.
bought the truck July 2022 with 171k miles on it, it is a retired fire truck, so probably a lot of Idle hours on it.
today, it has been very good to me, no downtime for problems that I did not make on my own.
Installed fuel sump kit, and some door moldings, and tracking down water leaks, stuff like that.
the odometer is about 177,400ish today.
