Truck longevity

Hey guys. I'm looking into getting a supercrew 4x4 of some sort. I'm trying to keep the budget fairly low, so a higher mileage truck is mostly what I have been looking at and it's gotta have the 5.4L. I know trucks usually last as long as they are treated, but general speaking, what kind of longevity could I expect out of the 5.4 motor and transmission. I've seen many trucks well over 200K and the ones in the price range of $5000-9900 seem to have anywhere from 130K-220K. I just want to try to get the better deal possible. I didn't realize that these trucks are holding their value pretty well.

surpisingly they are very good.

My dads got a 97 with the 3rd door yatta yatta, 4.6 auto 2wd.
its got 300k on it. Put bushings in the front end. a alternator, fan clutch. and tranny (cracked the case on a rock our fault, burned it up)

it will still smoke em into second. IM actually saving to buy one similar
