Should I buy a 2008 F150 with 150k miles?

[802climber]

Found a really clean 2008 F150 for a fair price but it has like 150,000 miles on the 5.4 triton. I don't know much about gas vehicles, only diesel... My Subaru is near the end of the line and thinking of getting an F150 for a sales/PHC vehicle. Is this too many miles for a gas job? Thanks

Based on experience with '07 5.4 high mile'r ...... Avoid.

Currently has 370,000kms and looking down the barrel of a heart transplant.

Got it with 60,000, and it was flawless till about 280,000. Thereafter a series of severe faults/repairs.

Well I would not try to get more than 5 years or so out of it. About 10k miles per year...

I had a 5.4 triton that needed new plugs. Google 5.4 triton plugs! Ford dealer broke them off in the head and wanted to charge me $4700.00!!! They ended up buying the truck from me sfter a huge battle.

The 5.4 liter Ford had problems with cam phasers. Do a Google Search and it'll tell you more.
