Default What to expect?

I am thinking of buying a 2016 4WD with the 5.0. The truck has 103k miles on it but has very good maintenance records. What can I expect to have to replace in this mileage range? Truck has brand new tires, brakes were done about 5k miles ago, starter was replaced at 93k miles. Thanks in advance.

The intake runner flap mechanism is prone to breaking and the only fix is the replace the entire intake...Mine just went at 90k. The problem is so prevalent that new intakes are on 3.5 week back order delay from Ford :/

On the 5.0 also? I know The 5.0 also has intake runner control above 3000 RPMs and it would imagine it has the same clips or brackets that you referring to.
I have a 2016 5.0 four-wheel drive crew cab 60k miles... The only warranty issue I had was a rear differential whining They replaced all the bearings and gear set and have said no trouble sense I've only done oil changes in tire rotations as far as maintenance I'm now looking at transmission services and differential services coming up in the spring.

It's due for plugs and transmission fluid service. I would do differentials, transfer case, and brake fluid flush (rarely a service that is done by an owner). Coolant flush if it hasn't been done recently. Intake runner butterfly and water pump? If it ain't broke, wait until it is. They may never go bad.
