Looking for used 5.0 '11 and up
funds are limited. So that limits the vehicles. Most of the trucks I can get have over 100k. Main question is how are these platforms holding up over 100,000+ miles. Any engine or trans issues to know about?

Yes, 2013 and newer have fewer issues.
Having said that, my buddy just bought a 2011 Lariat with the 5.0 for around $12,000 and he LOVES it. It's got 212,000 miles and runs/drives like a new one with no creaks or rattles he says. Got all the bells and whistles too, since it's a Lariat.
The key is finding one that's been serviced regularly and taken care of. If you can find that, like he did, you can score a sweet truck for a really cheap price.

Well the funds I have would be able to purchase a truck with over 100,000 miles. Trucks under that are above my price range.
