How long will it last...

I have an 01 with a 4.6. I bought it last year with 67,000 miles on it and now there are 80,000 miles. I was wondering how long can i expect this truck to last me? As long as I dont get into an accident or anything like that.

With good maintenance it should last well over 200,000. Thats what I am hoping for out of my 97 it has 141,000 now

My 97 4.6 has close to 180000 miles on it right now and it still runs like new. I am expecting 250000 to 300000 miles out of this one. At 80000 yours isnt even broke in yet.
