What can I expect?
I have a 2013 F250, Lariat, 4X4, with the gas-powered 6.2L, and the only modifications that have been done to it is a Ranch Hand Grill Guard. I keep the maintenance up to date, I use mid-grade fuel most of the time, and I rarely horse beat it as it is my daily driver. I do pull a couple of trailers with it from time to time, the biggest is a 28' enclosed trailer with somewhere between 6000 to 8000 combined towing weight. When I do pull the enclosed trailer, it is for long trips, about 3000 to 4000-miles. The truck has right at 140,000 miles on it & it seems to run great. I am wondering with that kind of miles and that kind of use. If there is anything that I should be expecting to happen. I know that it is impossible to see the future, but there is a history with vehicles that are 9 or 10 years old. Before you say that I should have bought a Diesel, I am not a fan. I prefer the sound of a Gas-Powered vehicle, & I do a LOT of driving 1 mile and back which is not good for a vehicle that uses DEF.

Keep up normal maintenance. That is important.
As for failures, keep an ear on the serpentine belt tensioner pulleys. Replace if they get noisy.
Your transmission, engine and rear differential are pretty bullet-proof. With normal maintenance you should easily double your odometer reading.
