I am looking at a 2010 Ford F-150 with the 5.4L engine in it. It has 43,000 miles and is and seems to be in great shape. Is this a good engine? Are there any things I need to look out for on this engine? I see mixed reviews of it online so I'm curious what this community has to say about it.
I think that one came with the 3-valve Triton, which you should stay away from.

Move up to a 1st or 2nd gen 5.0. MUCH better motor. The early to mid 2000s was not the best yrs for the blue oval.
I have a 2010 5.4 triton V8 and it has 223478 thousand miles and its been reliable
That’s probability/statistics for you. Also, how often did you change your engine oil? For instance, my experience with my GM vehicles has been the opposite of what others have encountered and say (including from Scotty), but that’s also probability/statistics for you. My and other’s (good) experience does not make those vehicles (in general) any more reliable, however.
