The turbos had to be completely broken down in order to replace an o ring. $5k later it seems ok. That is until those turbos need replaced. I would look for a 5.0 with that kind of mileage.
5.0 use the same quick connect on the cooling lines, $20 & 5 min you can replace it yourself, pretty sure there’s a thread somewhere on here doing it.

Had used GM & Chevy's before that and drove them all to the 160k - 180k mark with no issues until the transmission went out at 165k on the last one.

My Tundra will roll 300k sometime this week.
Runs as strong as the day I bought it, never a single issue, and I drive it like I stole it 100% of the time.
300k and no squeaks or rattles in the cabin, who can say that about any of the other 3.
We did run over 1.5 million lbs of concrete through it, so I had to replace springs, shocks, and the axle housing in the rear cuz I was tired of welding it back up.
Never owned any truck that could hold a candle to this thing.
If you want it to last there's only one answer, if you want it to massage your balls, you have a couple options with the big 3.

Have 2017 chev Z71 crew cab 4x4, run in 5th gear so don't get that 4 cyl dropdown (never bought the plug in ) 5.3L get about 16 mpg on hwy 65,000. Like the truck as the way it handles and interior setup but concerned over lifter issues many have, mine does not use oil yet but is sluggish on acceleration and hesitates some maybe injectors but no codes yet. Would not recommend because of engine, nephew had lifters go up on 2015 chev 1500, friend also on 2016 after I bought mine of course.

I'd say Tundra 1st, but since that wasn't an option in the OP, I'd go with a Ford 5.0. GM is known for their AFM burning up engines. Dodges seem to rattle apart and have the hemi lifter tick issue. I'd avoid an ecoboost unless you know how it was maintained and even then you roll the dice on a turbo issue. All of them have little stuff like radios, door locks, etc going out after a certain age.
