Post aside from plugs and coil?

greetings all!

I drive a 2001f150 sc 4.6 2wd with 96Kmiles. ASide from the plugs and coils, are there any other things I should consider/worry/think about? I want to keep the truck for as long as I can but if it will start to "show" its age I might go look for some 04-present f150s. Any inputs?

Thanks!

Diff oil, brake fluid flush, suspension joints, u-joints, water pump, radiator the list goes on and on. Do all your scheduled maintenance and enjoy your truck.

Wow! I love my truck so much but I just worry about its dependability sometimes.

Thanks to all who responded!

All of the above maintenance items do not affect a truck's "dependability" they are no more than regular items that can "wear out" with age and mileage which are indicative of any vehicle with your mileage.
