5.0 mileage

Looking at a used 13' F150 Platinum with 129,000 mi. 5.0L motor. Looks great but haven't driven it yet. Has a clean carfax with buy back quarantee. How many miles can I expect to get out of this motor with good maintenance. I'm 69 and want this to be my last vehicle purchase.

I'd say between 225,000 and 300k is easily possible. Guy on the 6.2 forum replaced his at 450k or so due to cam going on it finally. New motora nd still driving it as a hot shot driver.

Scafman that is why I bought mine I am 69 and have had it for only a year. 48500 on the od and getting around 22 23 miles per gallon. I am impressed with the 5.0 motor nice and smooth and plenty of power. Now after all of that I think I am going to get rid of it and get something like a flex or encore for the wife.Mine is a STX two door extended cab and two wheel drive and still is to tall I could lower it for around a grand but she needs to or we need to get her one last auto also and the 08exploder only has 148,000 on it and runs strong but tired of it . When I completely quit work I will get me another truck but not one so tall. I have my 55 F-100 and a HHR for work .
