For $2000 that's a really good find. The 4.6 is a very good engine, though I found it to be pretty underpowered. The 5.4 is better power wise and has a lot of potential, but that requires some pretty expensive modifications to make it reliable long term. Overall, I'd say you did very well getting your F150. Some things to note about future maintenance. First and foremost, replace your Fuel Pressure Control Module as soon as possible. The factory module sits on the frame rail under the bed where the spare tire hangs. The factory module sits flush with the rail and will corrode, causing no start issues. The replacement should come with spacers to fix that issue. And last are the Integrated Wheel Ends (IWE's). For the 4x4 system, the automatic hubs require vacuum to function. However, the diaphragm inside the IWE's are plastic and fail often. I would recommend getting the IWE eliminators. That will lock your hubs in all the time but you won't be in 4x4 without engaging the transfer case first. I have had eliminators on my F150 for years without any issues. Those are the only real issues specific to the 11th gen that I can recall.
Aging Ford happened haha. I personally like the engine so went with the truck even at high miles, got another same engine (slightly) lower miles since. It just had some frame rot forming because of the northeast salted roads and it had already matched what I paid for it in work so I sold it when in good and safe condition.

Thank you, and I’ll keep the info in mind!
Congratulations. Looks like a great truck
