Default Most miles on '11-15 5.0?

I'm wanting to see if anyone here has say, 150,000 or more miles on ye 5.0. I'd like to try to see how the 5.0 has been holding up. We always see posts about Ecoboost, that's good, but I just want to know if the 5.0 is proving to be a real tough, long lasting engine.

Please - LET'S DO NOT GET INTO 5.0 vs Ecoboost talk. I'd like to see some of y'all boys who have over 200,000 (need I say it? "Trouble free" miles?) on ye 5.0s.

In the mean time while you're waiting for people to post...

Mine's only a baby at 15.7k miles.

Thanks Boston. I've seen that thread, but I'd only like to see high mileage trucks like I said, 150,000 or more. None of that, "I've got 37,000 trouble free miles..." mess. A Yugo would about do that. I've read of at least one '11 Ecoboost with over 261,000 miles with nary an engine problem. I wonder if anybody has a 5.0 like that?

Coworker has a 5.0 with 120k, he had a wiring harness for the tranny wear through, and has done tires and brakes that's it. Probably not a ton of trucks out there with 150k plus, so thought I'd throw that one in there for you

Lets make this interesting... if your mileage is lower than the guys posting before you, don't bother! Otherwise we'll have 15 pages of low mileage posts and the point is high mileage posts!
